Overview

  • The agreed £20 million fee would eclipse the Championship record of £16 million set by Burnley for Mike Tresor in 2024
  • Hackney, England’s EuroEuropean Championship winner in June, has yet to finalise personal terms and has missed Middlesbrough’s pre-season matches during ongoing talks
  • Reports indicate Ipswich have offered a substantial up-front payment alongside a wage package of around £35,000 per week to secure the 23-year-old
  • Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards described Hackney’s potential exit as a 'win-win' and confirmed sale proceeds will fund upcoming transfer targets
  • Manchester United are said to be monitoring Hackney’s negotiations and could launch a last-minute bid before the transfer window closes
