Liverpool are expected to carry out a major overhaul of the squad over the summer transfer window. While the club are expected to bolster Arne Slot’s title-winning squad, they are also set to sell a number of players. It seems a big decision has been made on the future of one of the bright young talents from their academy.
The Merseyside giants are set to back Slot heavily in the next window after the Dutchman won the Premier League title with more or less the same squad that Jurgen Klopp had.
Liverpool are expected to sign as many as five new signings, but the club have also been tipped to sell ten players over the course of the summer transfer window.
Several major stars are expected to be moved on for the right offers, but the club have now also decided to cash in on a young midfield prodigy this summer.
Can you name the team Liverpool signed these players from?
The Reds decide to sell a midfield wonderkid
Tyler Morton played in the Champions League earlier in the season but has not featured in the Premier League this term and has been out for a long time due to a shoulder injury.
The midfielder has recovered from his injury, but according to The Athletic, the Liverpool academy product has no future at Anfield beyond the end of he season.
Liverpool are prepared to listen to offers for him this summer as he is not a major part of Slot’s plans going forward on Merseyside.
Morton has made 14 senior appearances for the Reds and is unlikely to add to that number before the end of the season.
The Merseyside giants value him at £20m and are expecting offers to land on their table for him in the summer transfer window.
Newly promoted Leeds United have been interested in Morton, and could provide him a route to play regular Premier League football next season.
