Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton is reportedly a target for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig this summer, with discussions already underway but no agreement reached yet.
Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Morton is being considered for a loan move by Leipzig, a proposal Liverpool seems unhappy with.
Morton, who has had loan spells with Blackburn Rovers and Hull City, has struggled for playing time at Liverpool.
Liverpool appears interested in a permanent sale, given Morton’s unlikely prospects of breaking into their first team.
Despite this, Leipzig’s interest highlights Morton’s potential, making it crucial for Liverpool to secure the right deal.
Morton, a homegrown talent from Liverpool’s academy, didn’t cost a transfer fee, meaning a sale could yield pure profit and help comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability laws.
As recent points deductions for clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest have shown, financial compliance is essential.
While Morton has potential, his future at Liverpool seems limited.
Thus, selling him to free up funds for new signings seems like a logical move for Liverpool’s management.
