Morgan Whittaker, Colorado Rapids and Middlesbrough
1 September 2026
Colorado Rapids have agreed a club-record deal to sign Middlesbrough winger Morgan Whittaker. The 25-year-old is undergoing a medical in London before completing the transfer, which will exceed Colorado’s previous $7 million record fee for Paxten Aaronson.
Whittaker scored 14 goals and added seven assists in 40 appearances for Middlesbrough last season. Colorado view him as the central piece of an attacking overhaul that also includes selling Rafa Navarro to St. Louis City and adding Sayed Abu Farkhi.
