Liverpool will unlikely sell Tyler Morton this summer after turning down an enquiry from 2023/24 Bundesliga winners Bayer Leverkusen for the 21-year-old midfield prospect.
According to an update by Anthony Joseph and Lyall Thomas on Sky Sports, Tyler Morton is the subject of interest from Bayer Leverkusen. The Bundesliga champions have approached Liverpool to discuss a move for the young midfielder. However, the Reds have knocked back the enquiry and will likely keep the 21-year-old prospect beyond the summer transfer window.
Tyler Morton and his career so far
Tyler Morton has struggled to stamp his authority since his impressive debut season with Liverpool. A native of Wallasey, the Englishman was with Liverpool throughout his formative years, joining the Merseyside club as a seven-year-old in 2009.
The 21-year-old midfield prospect progressed through the ranks at the Merseyside club before breaking into the first-team squad in the 2021/22 campaign. However, Morton has spent the last two seasons away from Liverpool on two loan spells, featuring regularly for Blackburn Rovers and Hull City.
The England youth international has returned to Liverpool after his loan spell with Hull City, and uncertainties are brewing over his long-term future at Anfield. Recent reports have claimed that the Reds are open to cashing in on the youngster in the summer transfer window. The latest update has linked him with Bayer Leverkusen.
What next?
Bayer Leverkusen’s interest in Tyler Morton is surprising. The 2023/24 Bundesliga winners have already reinforced their midfield unit this summer by signing Aleix Garcia from Girona. While Exequiel Palacios is currently on the sidelines due to an injury, he will not be a long-term absentee.
So, it is not clear how Morton fits into the scheme of things at Bayer Leverkusen. However, a move to the Bundesliga club will not see the light of day, with Liverpool turning down an enquiry by Die Werkself. Meanwhile, the 21-year-old Englishman has also been a target for another Bundesliga club, RB Leipzig.
However, despite earlier suggestions that Liverpool might part ways with the English midfield prospect, they will keep hold of him beyond the summer transfer window. With Stefan Bajcetic closing in on joining Red Bull Salzburg, Morton might get the opportunity to make his mark for the Liverpool first team.
