RB Leipzig are reportedly keen on signing 21-year-old Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from The Times, Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig are now plotting a raid on Liverpool for 21-year-old midfielder Tyler Morton. It will be interesting to see if the Reds are prepared to sanction his departure.
Morton is highly rated at the club, and he has a bright future ahead of him. However, he needs regular game time to continue his development. Liverpool might not be able to provide him with that opportunity. They have a number of options at their disposal when it comes to the midfield unit, and letting the 21-year-old leave would be ideal.
RB Leipzig have a proven track record when it comes to nurturing young players, and they could help the midfielder develop further and fulfil his potential. The opportunity to play in the German top flight will be quite exciting for the player as well. It would be a major step up in his career.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will need to improve their midfield unit as well. The Reds will be without Thiago Alcantara next season, and they need to bring in a quality midfielder this summer. The departure of Tyler Morton could help raise some funds for new signings. Recent reports have linked Liverpool with several midfielders, including Joshua Kimmich.
Tyler Morton needs to play regularly
The 21-year-old midfielder should focus on continuing his development with regular football for now. If he manages to impress at the Bundesliga club in the coming seasons, he will have plenty of opportunities to join a big club in the near future.
Sitting on the bench at Liverpool is unlikely to benefit him now, and he should look to secure a move to the German club this summer. The Bundesliga outfit will certainly hope to agree on a reasonable fee with Liverpool for the midfielder, and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can work out an agreement soon.
Morton has the potential to develop into a quality first team player for the German club, and Liverpool might end up regretting their decision to let him leave. However, the Merseyside outfit will not be able to provide him with the opportunities he needs right now, and they will need to find a resolution.
