Hibernian are said to be in formal negotiations with Middlesbrough over the signing of Daniel Barlaser. The midfielder has been a target for some time, and talks are said to be intensifying as the window progresses. The player remains under contract, but movement looks increasingly likely the longer talks go on. Hibernian continue discussions over the move, with no rival interest reported so far to complicate matters. Hibernian's 25/26 record of 1.5 goals conceded per game shows they're missing balance in midfield. Someone like Daniel Barlaser could give them more structure and help them manage games. Alongside this, Middlesbrough are said to be exploring Matt Targett and Adilson Malanda with Hibernian likewise connected to Lyndon Dykes.
