Liverpool ENTER midfielder transfer talks

Liverpool have entered talks over a potential £15m transfer.

As much as Richard Hughes will be honing on on new arrivals at the moment with the focus very much on Alexander Isak, and bringing in a new centre-back, there are still going to be some departures at the club as well.

There remains question marks over the future of Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa and Kostas Tsimikas. Meanwhile, at this point who knows what fate Darwin Nunez holds.

These transfer deals are going to be crucial for Liverpool in order to balance the books. The Reds have spent a lot of money this summer but they also stand to recoup the vast majority of what they have spent through sales.

Elliott in particular is going to command a significant fee. Meanwhile, Nunez, if Liverpool can find the right suitor, won't be leaving on the cheap either.

And the Reds have also entered talks to complete a deal that would count as 'pure profit' when it comes to the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

According to Sky Sports News, Liverpool are in talks with Lyon to sell Tyler Morton for what is expected to be a £15m transfer.

Morton is an academy graduate, which means Liverpool could count the entire sale as a profit, considering he has been at the club from a young age.

The 22-year-old has been on several loan spells over the course of his career and of course caught the eye in the Reds' first team as well.

His best performance came against AC Milan in the Champions League at the San Siro in a game where Morton really emerged as a top-prospect.

Since then, he has always stood-out for his excellent technical ability and his reading of the game. The only obstacle in his way in terms of making more regular first team minutes has been the level of players ahead of him in the pecking order.

Right now Morton will know he is not guaranteed regular playing time but at his age he needs to be playing week in, week out in order to develop.

Another loan to the Championship is probably not the right move for him either, having been at Blackburn Rovers and Hull City.

This move to Lyon could be an excellent one. He'd be playing in a top five European league, at one of the best teams in that league.

On top of that, Morton will be able to play in Europe as well, with Lyon having qualified for the Europa League.

Another interesting caveat in these talks is that Liverpool are known for their admiration of Malick Fofana. So, perhaps letting Morton go to Lyon could open up a level of communication between the two sides that may ultimately see the French team return the favour for Fofana.

It's definitely something to keep an eye on.
