Liverpool agreed to the £ 15 million fee of Lyon for the U21 U21 star, Tyler Morton.
According to Fabrizio Romano on X, negotiations between the Red Brigade and Lyon on the transfer of Morton are in the “final stage”. This young player is expected to move to Ligue 1 for £ 15 million after only 14 appearances for the first Liverpool team.
The sale of mature players from the 22 -year -old academy will bring net profits to Liverpool, the team continues to act smart in mobilizing money for the next big deals. A record -breaking move for Alexander Isak can still occur, although Newcastle United refused to offer Liverpool's £ 120 million.
Morton was Merseyside, joined Liverpool at the age of 7 and had an official debut for the club in September 2021. He was later lent at Blackburn Rovers and Hull City before returning to the main squad of the Red Brigade last season. Morton has only 5 appearances in all competitions last season and there is no time in the Premier League.
However, Morton is an important member of the U21 U21 squad who won the European U21 championship of coach Lee Carsley and created the decisive goal in the final.
If this deal takes place, Morton will have the opportunity to play regularly in a great force in Europe like Lyon. The 7 -time team of the French champion is currently facing financial difficulties but will hope to return in the coming years.
Liverpool can find a way to continue selling Morton by pushing more players like Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott. The transfer related to Isak may continue in the rest of the summer.
