Middlesbrough January transfers and net spend: Every confirmed signing and sale for Kim Hellberg's side in 2026 winter window

Middlesbrough have enjoyed a strong start to the 2025‑26 Championship season and currently sit second in the table with 43 points from 23 league games, and following the managerial change in late November, which saw Kim Hellberg replace Rob Edwards, the Teesiders remain firmly in contention for automatic promotion.

Having been active in the summer 2025 transfer window, Middlesbrough are expected to focus on strengthening their squad further in January 2026, with Hellberg likely to target additional attacking options to provide more firepower up front, reinforcements in central midfield to maintain energy and creativity during the promotion push, and further additions in defence to improve consistency and cover injuries as the season enters its crucial second half.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Middlesbrough's confirmed ins and outs during the 2026 January transfer window, as well as looking at their net spend and latest transfer rumours.
