Journalist Paul Joyce reveals that Liverpool are set to finalize the sale of midfielder Tyler Morton to Olympique Lyon during the summer 2025 transfer window, contributing significantly to Liverpool's considerable transfer revenue this summer.

This deal forms part of Liverpool’s broader transfer activity responding to major squad changes following their Premier League title success. Several key players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah, and Luis Diaz, have already departed, prompting the club to manage significant squad turnover.

Tyler Morton, a 22-year-old midfielder from Wallasey, had limited involvement in Liverpool’s title-winning season due to injuries but drew attention with his strong performances in England’s recent European Under-21 Championship victory. This exposure has increased interest in him from clubs across Europe, most notably Olympique Lyon and earlier interest from Portuguese club Braga and English club West Ham.

Lyon’s interest led to negotiations nearing completion, with reports indicating the transfer fee will be around £15 million. West Ham's pursuit of Morton is currently constrained by their need to sell players before making an offer, leaving Lyon as the apparent frontrunner.

This sale exemplifies Liverpool’s strategic squad reshaping under manager Arne Slot, as the club reinvests the funds secured from multiple player sales to strengthen other areas. Morton's move to Lyon is highlighted as one of the significant transactions contributing to Liverpool's total summer sales amounting to approximately £144.9 million.

Overall, Morton’s transfer to Lyon marks a key development in Liverpool’s evolving squad dynamics as they aim to sustain competitive performance in the 2025/26 Premier League season.
