Liverpool's Tyler Morton Transfers to Lyon for £15 Million
Tyler Morton Joins Lyon After Successful Liverpool Stint
After a series of impressive performances for both Liverpool and England's Under-21 team, Tyler Morton has completed a permanent transfer to French club Lyon for a fee of £15 million ($20 million).
Morton, a 22-year-old midfielder who came through Liverpool's youth system, made 14 senior appearances for the Reds before moving to Lyon in August 2025. He played a crucial role in England's Under-21 European Championship victory this summer.
Morton's journey with Liverpool began at the age of seven when he joined the club's academy. His talent was evident early on, but securing a consistent spot in the starting eleven proved challenging for the young midfielder. To gain more playing time, Morton spent loan spells in the Championship with Hull City and Blackburn Rovers.
Meanwhile, another Liverpool academy graduate, Jarrell Quansah, was sold to Bayer Leverkusen for £35 million, marking a significant investment in new talent for the Premier League champions. However, recent updates and confirmed transfers for Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen are not readily available.
The transfer of Morton to Lyon comes amidst financial issues that led to Lyon's relegation to France's second tier this summer. However, the club successfully appealed the decision and was reinstated to Ligue 1, providing an exciting opportunity for Morton to showcase his talent in the top flight.
Managing finances is crucial for Liverpool to comply with the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations. The club's manager, Arne Slot, has significantly invested over £250 million in new players following the 2024-25 season title victory.
As Morton embarks on a new chapter with Lyon, fans and pundits alike eagerly anticipate his contributions to the team. With his proven skills and determination, Morton is poised to make a lasting impact in Ligue 1.
