Liverpool’s summer transfer activity continues to unfold in dramatic fashion following the high?profile departure of Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich for around £75?million, a move that has set off a chain reaction of outbound and inbound negotiations.

With Alexander Isak reportedly nearing a move to Anfield, with a second bid planned, the Reds are now holding talks with Ligue 1 side Lyon over a permanent exit for midfielder Tyler Morton after the signing of Florian Wirtz reinforced their midfield depth.

Morton, 22, has struggled for game time at Anfield — making nine senior appearances overall, with minimal minutes in 2024/25.

Sources indicate Liverpool are asking for a fee near €9 million, a valuation Lyon considers steep (unconfirmed, but plausible based on Liverpool’s valuation of young players) despite their prior interest in the player.

He spent last season on loan at Hull City, where he impressed with consistent performances in the Championship, drawing attention from several European clubs.

Despite his potential, the fierce competition in Liverpool’s midfield has limited his breakthrough.

Lyon views him as a long-term asset who can bring energy, vision, and versatility to their midfield rebuild under Pierre Sage.

Beyond Morton, other players could also be on their way out.

Speculation is growing around Liverpool’s squad as the transfer window progresses.

Reports suggest Leeds United and several European clubs have shown interest in left-back Kostas Tsimikas, who has seen limited game time at Anfield.

With Liverpool rumoured to be exploring a move for Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez to bolster their left-back options, Tsimikas could potentially be on the move.

Elsewhere, young winger Ben Doak is reportedly being considered for a loan or permanent transfer to secure regular playing time, with clubs like Nottingham Forest and Everton mentioned as possible destinations.

Meanwhile, striker Darwin Nunez has been linked with moves to Al-Hilal and AC Milan, while midfielder Harvey Elliott is said to be evaluating his future at the club following the arrival of Florian Wirtz, which could impact his role in the squad.

These developments remain unconfirmed, and no official statements have been made by Liverpool or the players involved.

These potential exits are largely influenced by Liverpool’s focus on squad balance — clearing squad players while bringing in elite reinforcements like Florian Wirtz (and potentially Isak).

With minutes limited and competition increasing, a few more exits before deadline day seem inevitable.
