Liverpool to receive massive discount on 'untouchable' midfielder
Another busy transfer window can be expected at Anfield as Liverpool look to recover from a disappointing season.
The Reds spent over £400 million last summer but there is still plenty of work to be done on Arne Slot’s squad.
Multiple positions need to be addressed, and Richard Hughes will be hard at work searching for the best value transfers on the market.
Some sales will no doubt be required in order for Liverpool to make all the signings they deem necessary, similar to last season when eight players left the club permanently.
The recruitment team at Anfield will be on the lookout for a bargain, and there is one ‘untouchable’ player that Liverpool can get a massive discount on.
Liverpool can sign ‘untouchable’ midfielder for cut price
Last summer the Reds sanctioned the sale of Tyler Morton to Olympic Lyon for just £15 million, and since then the Englishman has become one of the best players in Ligue 1.
Morton’s performances have been so impressive that he has earned an ‘untouchable’ title at the club. He is one of only five players that OL have ruled out selling as they face financial pressure.
The club need to raise €20 million by the end of June, and €60 million by the end of August, but Morton is one of only five players they won’t sell unless they get an irresistible offer according to L’Equipe.
It would take a substantial fee to get Morton out of the club then, but Liverpool have an ace up their sleeves.
When the deal was agreed between clubs, Liverpool were able to agree a 20% sell-on fee according to Paul Joyce.
The news that it will take a huge fee to secure Morton is a win-win for Liverpool because if they wish to bring him back to Anfield their 20% sell-on clause will effectively become a discount, but if someone else decides to pay an inflated fee then the Reds will still profit.
The club will likely be looking to add to it’s midfield ranks, so they could well move for Morton, but either way the inclusion of the clause is a great bit of business from Richard Hughes.
