In the same year, he moved to Dunakanyar-Vác FC as part of an exchange deal. He did not play any matches in the Dunakanyar-Vác FC. Next year he headed for the German Bundesliga.
FC Schalke 04

Borussia Dortmund
In July 2008, he moved to Borussia Dortmund for a fixed transfer fee of €1.3m.
His performance in Dortumnd's 4–0 win against Frankfurt on 15 November 2008—scoring once and assists for three goals—earned him a place in the Bundesliga Team of the Week and made Hajnal Man of The Match. In the next round, Hajnal was again in the Team of the Week. He played 30 matches and scored five goals during the 2008–09 Bundesliga season. In the 2009–10 Bundesliga season he played 21 matches. He was injured in 2010, therefore he could not play in the 2010–11 Bundesliga season for Borussia Dortmund.
VfB Stuttgart
On 31 January 2011, Hajnal was loaned out to VfB Stuttgart. He scored his first goal against Eintracht Frankfurt on 27 February 2011. The final result was 2–0 for Stuttgart. On 7 May 2011, Hajnal moved permanently to VfB Stuttgart because the club avoided relegation.
Hajnal extended his contract with VfB Stuttgart on 7 January 2013 until June 2014 with an option for a further year.
FC Ingolstadt
On 1 August 2013, he moved to FC Ingolstadt 04. He made his debut in the 2. Bundesliga against Karlsruhe. In September 2014 he announced he would be leaving the club, and likely returning to his native Hungary.
Ferencváros
On 12 December 2014, Hajnal returned to his former club Ferencvárosi TC after 17 years. Current manager of Ferencváros, Thomas Doll had been interested in signing Hajnal previously. However, Hajnal was unaware that Ferencváros intended to sign him a couple of weeks before the offer was made. When Hajnal was a free agent, he was training with Ferencváros. Therefore, it was obvious that he would join the club if he would return to Hungary.
On 7 March 2015, Hajnal scored his first goal in the 57th minute in the 2014–15 season of the Hungarian League against Győr at the Groupama Arena in Budapest.
