Liverpool have agreed a transfer fee after the player gave a green light on a five year contract. He'll now fly out to complete the move.

Liverpool continue to do unprecedented levels of business in this transfer window. They've already signed a wealth of players to reshape their first-team squad and certainly aren't finished.

Alexander Isak is the dream arrival, even if Newcastle United rejected a formal approach on Friday. It's thought the Reds will wait and see what happens rather than try to force that one going forward.

Until then, their focus will be elsewhere. Liverpool need to move players on, many of whom have already been replaced or don't have an obvious future with the club.

Darwin Nunez is heavily linked with an exit, while Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott could be off. It's not clear whether Ben Doak will remain on the books, either, and Ibrahima Konate's expiring contract casts his future into doubt.

One player does have a clear future, however, after Liverpool agreed a fee.

Tyler Morton set to join Lyon

There have been strong reports in recent days that Lyon wanted to sign Tyler Morton. L'Équipe now claims that deal is fully agreed.

Lyon will pay €10 million in base fee, plus up to €5 million in add-ons. It's a relatively low price but after Morton barely played last season, an understandable one.

Morton has already agreed to a five-year contract with the French side. He'll now fly out there to have a medical and formally sign his deal.

And with that, Liverpool sell another homegrown player. It's the fourth such sale in this transfer window after Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah.

That's a situation the Reds must deal with. Squad limits on non-homegrown talents necessitate a healthy number in the squad, but Liverpool continue to sell theirs.

However, Morton was unlikely to play any real role in the squad next season. It's possible the club won't directly replace him, then, and will instead leave a spot spare - certainly the most cost-effective option.
