Overview

• Lyon lodged a formal bid reportedly just over £10 million, but it did not meet Liverpool’s valuation.
• Liverpool are standing firm on their £20 million asking price before returning to negotiations.
• L’Equipe reports that personal terms between Morton and Lyon have been agreed, though the fee gap has paused talks.
• Morton featured only five times under Arne Slot last season, driving his push for regular first-team football abroad.
• Clubs including SC Braga, Ajax, West Ham and Club Brugge maintain interest, keeping multiple options open for the midfielder.
