Tyler Morton is set to transfer from Liverpool to Ligue 1 club Lyon for around €17 million. The midfielder struggled to find playing time at Anfield amid a competitive squad. After a successful loan at Hull City in the 2023/24 season, where he played 41 games and contributed 3 goals and 5 assists, his stock has risen significantly. His upcoming deal includes a five-year contract and a 20% sell-on clause. As Morton has mainly played at the Academy levels, this transfer represents a lucrative opportunity for Liverpool, exceeding his market value of €7 million.
Morton has found it very difficult to force his way into Arne Slot's plans at Anfield due to Liverpool's crowded and talented midfield, prompting a move to Ligue 1.
The deal for Morton is around €17 million, reflecting a solid influx of funds for Liverpool, given he has only made 14 first-team appearances in his career.
Morton's stock significantly rose during the 2023/24 season with Hull City, where he played 41 times in the EFL Championship, scoring 3 goals and assisting 5.
From a Liverpool perspective, signing a €17 million deal for Morton is great business, bringing in more than double his market value.
