Sky Confirm: Middlesbrough are understood to be in serious transfer negotiations with Coventry City over a potential move for English midfielder Jack Rudoni, sources close to both clubs say. The 24-year-old creative midfielder, who has blossomed at Sky Blues since his 2024 arrival from Huddersfield Town, has been a standout performer in the Championship with goals, assists and energetic forward play that has drawn admiring looks across the league.

Boro, currently pushing at the top end of the Championship and keen to strengthen their squad for another promotion bid, have identified Rudoni as the kind of dynamic midfielder who could add creativity and guile to their engine room. Talks are believed to be ongoing between Middlesbrough and Coventry’s hierarchy, with valuation and personal terms among the key sticking points as both sides seek a deal that could satisfy competitive ambitions. Insider chatter suggests talks have progressed beyond early enquiries, with Boro hopeful of reaching an agreement in the coming weeks.

For Coventry, losing Rudoni would be a significant blow — but one that could bring substantial funds for reinvestment if terms are agreed.
