Overview

  • Liverpool and Lyon finalized terms on August 2 for Morton’s permanent move, agreeing a £15 million fee plus performance-based add-ons and a 20% sell-on clause.
  • Morton is en route to Lyon for a medical this weekend and is expected to sign a long-term contract once he passes the fitness checks.
  • The 22-year-old midfielder made just 14 senior appearances for Liverpool, including two in the Premier League, and featured sparingly under Arne Slot last season.
  • After loan spells at Blackburn Rovers and Hull City and participation in England’s Under-21 European Championship victory, Morton is seeking consistent first-team minutes abroad.
  • Lyon, newly reinstated in Ligue 1 with Europa League qualification secured, offer Morton a platform for regular top-flight football during the club’s rebuilding phase.
