Middlesbrough paid about £7 million and could owe another £7 million in add-ons as Manchester United kept a buy-back clause.
- Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek completed his move to Middlesbrough on Sunday for an initial £7m fee. The 22-year-old, who impressed on loan at Bristol City last season, joined the Riverside club.
- A Czech youth international, Vitek progressed through the ranks at Old Trafford after joining from Sigma Olomouc in 2020. He previously had loan spells at Accrington Stanley and Austrian side Blau-Weiss Linz.
- Reports indicate the deal includes a buy-back clause and a 35 per cent sell-on fee. "The project here is very impressive," Vitek said, adding, "I'm delighted to now be part of that."
- With Seny Dieng expected to leave before the transfer window closes, Vitek will compete with Sol Brynn for the number one jersey on Teesside. He becomes Boro's seventh summer signing.
- Middlesbrough progressed into the second round of the Carabao Cup on Friday, defeating Wrexham 1-0. Boro head coach Kim Hellberg is also expected to pursue Tottenham Hotspur centre-half Ashley Phillips for a significant fee.
