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

Middlesbrough narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League after suffering defeat to Hull City in the 2025-26 Championship play-off final, and the Teesside club will be determined to end their long wait for a return to the top flight, having last competed there in 2016-17.

Entering his first full season in charge after being appointed head coach in November 2025, Kim Hellberg will be looking to strengthen key areas of his squad, although several standout performers have attracted interest from elsewhere, including reigning Championship Player of the Season Hayden Hackney.
