This article was first published on August 2 and was updated after confirmation of the transfer.
FC Liverpool sold Tyler Morton (21) to Olympique Lyon. The 21-year-old is the fifth player trained by the Reds, who will be handed over this summer for a million revenue. According to official club information, OL pays 10 million transfer plus 5 million euros in bonuses for the English U21 European champion, who mainly runs in defensive and central midfield. In addition, a 20 percent participation in the transfer gain in the event of a resale was agreed. Morton signed a five -year contract
He completed the seasons 2022/23 and 2023/24 for the Blackburn Rovers and Hull City with loan and each part of the regular staff. He spent the past season with the English champion, but only came to six missions in cup competitions – in the Premier League he was eight times to the squad in the first half of the season.
With Lyon, who narrowly escaped the forced descent, Morton will compete in the Europa League and give the Reds transfer revenue again that will be reinvested this summer in the commitment of star players. His English U21 colleague Jarell Quansah moved to Leverkusen, Caoimhín Kelleher for EUR 14.8 million to FC Brentford, NAT Phillips for 3.5 million euros to West Bromwich and Alexander-Arnold also achieved 10 million euros. Since Real Madrid wanted to have the right-back right-back from July 1st at the club World Cup, a transfer was due.
This is how Liverpool affects his top transfers
The transfer income of the Reds is increasing to over 73 million euros this summer. Added to this is the transfer of Luis Díaz for EUR 70 million to FC Bayern and the apparently upcoming departure of center forward Darwin Núñez, which is being courted by the Saudi club Al-Hilal. Since clubs from the Saudi Pro League are known to pay for well -known players about the market value, the transfer income of the Reds could increase to over 200 million euros, while working on the next record change.
According to the obligations of Florian Wirtz (Bayer), Hugo Ekitiké (SGE), Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth) and Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer), the expenditure is almost EUR 310 million. The transfer poker around Newcastles Alexander Isak, for whom you are flashed with an offer of over 126 million euros, is in full swing, the athletic. If you become a trade with the magpies in terms of Isak, the expenses in this transfer window could increase to around EUR 450 million – a sum that was only surpassed in the summer (for statistics).
Chelsea invested 464 million euros in the summer of 2023 and sold players for 275 million euros. The Reds can afford this shopping tour because they generate high income that will be completely included in the 2025/26 balance sheet, while the expenses in the coming years will be charged proportionately over the contract duration of the new additions. If Liverpool gets access for EUR 450 million and all receive five -year contracts like Wirtz, these players will cost 90 million euros each in the next five seasons. Provided that nobody is sold beforehand.
