First issues first, we at Empire of the Kop wish to thank Morton for all his contributions in a Liverpool shirt.
He’s been unlucky to have fairly stiff competitors in midfield underneath Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot. That mentioned, from our standpoint, he’s been a consummate skilled and hasn’t lacked for high quality or effort throughout his time at Anfield.
Empire of the Kop reported again in late July that Lyon had expressed a transparent curiosity in signing Tyler Morton this summer time.
The deal will see Liverpool pocket ‘round £15m’, in keeping with Joyce, on high of a 20% sell-on clause.
So, some fairly tidy enterprise all spherical from Richard Hughes and the recruitment staff!

How a lot have Liverpool produced from participant gross sales this summer time?
Regardless of some fairly main outlays on gamers like Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike (and, quickly, maybe, Alexander Isak), we’ve achieved nicely to recoup some funds this summer time.
Together with Alexander-Arnold’s meagre £8.4m payment (to speed up his exit forward of a free switch to Actual Madrid), we’ve introduced in roughly £144.9m (together with add-ons).
Liverpool participant
Sale whole (inclusive of add-ons)
Trent Alexander-Arnold
£8.4m
Tyler Morton
£15m (roughly)
Luis Diaz
£65.5m
Jarell Quansah
£35m
Caoimhin Kelleher
£18m
Nat Phillips
£3m (roughly)
Keep in mind there’s each chance Liverpool might considerably add to that whole if they will handle to promote Darwin Nunez to Saudi Arabia for a reported asking value of £60.7m.
That might take gross sales past the £200m mark, which stacks up moderately nicely with our present outlay whole of roughly £266m (together with add-ons).
Liverpool performing nicely in gross sales is all the time a optimistic indicator
There’s nothing that fairly beats the adrenaline rush of money being splashed like there’s no tomorrow. To not point out the blissful sight of a model new, shiny footballer strolling by the doorways of the AXA coaching centre.
That mentioned, Liverpool have hardly racked up a sound fame for his or her incomings alone.
Michael Edwards’ fame was actually bolstered by his outstanding skill to extract high worth from deadwood within the squad.
It’s extremely reassuring to see that Richard Hughes has picked up the torch on this entrance and is already main a brand new period of savvy switch dealings.
Lengthy could it proceed!
