Deal for Liverpool midfielder now looks NAILED on
Deal for Liverpool midfielder now looks NAILED on A deal for one Liverpool midfielder now looks nailed on. That's after developments ahead of the transfer window. Liverpool have an incredible number of potential deals on the go, quite honestly. Top of the lot is Florian Wirtz. Advertisement The German playmaker has chosen Liverpool as his next club and the Reds are deep in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen. It's expected that a deal will be reached in the coming days. That's far from all, though. Jeremie Frimpong has been wrapped up, while Milos Kerkez is on the shortlist, too. Then there are sales. Darwin Nunez will almost certainly leave the club and Luis Diaz is strongly linked with moves to either Barcelona or Al-Nassr. Caoimhin Kelleher could complete a move to Brentford on Tuesday. But there's another deal to watch out for that might just go through one year later. Tyler Morton and Bayer Leverkusen Tyler Morton nearly joined Bayer Leverkusen last year. A deal was incredibly close and only Martin Zubimendi rejecting Liverpool at the death ended things. Advertisement Otherwise, Morton would likely be there already. Well, we now expect a new bid from them. And not only because they're about to get an incredible amount of money from Liverpool for Wirtz. Erik Ten Hag is the new head coach at Leverkusen. He's someone who has used his connections to complete deals before, having brought Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester United a year ago. That was an interesting deal as Hojlund actually joined SEG, the agency that represents Ten Hag, just before completing the move. They also represented Sofyan Amrabat for his loan move to United. Per the Daily Mail, that led to concerns at Old Trafford over SEG's influence with Ten Hag. Especially after Zidane Iqbal signed with the agency right before leaving for Utrecht. Advertisement But even at his new club, this connection remains. Leverkusen will sign Mark Flekken from Brentford in the coming days - a player represented by SEG. Also represented by SEG? Tyler Morton. The midfielder, who is certain to leave Liverpool this summer, might just have an even easier way to join Leverkusen this summer. It all adds up pretty perfectly and if Leverkusen remain interested at all in Morton, a deal feels nailed on.

Midfielder's Liverpool exit edges closer with Leverkusen keen
Tyler Morton Exit Edges Closer as Leverkusen Circle Again Liverpool's transfer window is moving at a dizzying pace, but amid all the headline-making names, one deal looks all but inevitable—Tyler Morton to Bayer Leverkusen. Photo: IMAGO As Anfield Watch reports, the midfielder, who came close to joining the Bundesliga champions last summer, is once again on their radar. This time, the path appears much clearer. A deal is 'nailed on,' and all signs point to a permanent move being just around the corner. Move collapsed last summer Twelve months ago, Morton was reportedly on the brink of completing a switch to Leverkusen. The move fell apart only after Martin Zubimendi rejected Liverpool, forcing the Reds to hold onto Morton for squad depth. Photo: IMAGO Had Zubimendi arrived, Morton would almost certainly have been sold. Now, with the Spanish midfielder no longer in the frame and Liverpool's midfield department packed with established and emerging talent, the door is once again open. Agent links boost chances There's an added twist this time around. Morton is represented by SEG, the same agency that works with Erik ten Hag, now the newly appointed head coach at Bayer Leverkusen. Photo IMAGO That connection cannot be ignored. SEG's influence in recent deals involving Rasmus Højlund, Sofyan Amrabat and Zidane Iqbal is well documented. And now, with Mark Flekken also set to join Leverkusen—another SEG client—the agency's fingerprints are clearly all over Leverkusen's recruitment. Advertisement Morton being next makes sense, particularly with Leverkusen expected to receive a huge financial boost from Liverpool's impending deal for Florian Wirtz. Some of that money could be recycled directly back to Merseyside. Anfield future unlikely Morton may be highly regarded in Kirkby, but at senior level, the opportunities are no longer forthcoming. A regular at Hull City last season, the 21-year-old proved he is more than ready for a top-flight challenge. Photo: IMAGO But with Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch ahead of him, and with Stefan Bajcetic returning from loan, Morton's exit feels less like a loss and more like a logical next step. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis It's always bittersweet to see a homegrown lad edge closer to the exit. Tyler Morton is no superstar, but he's everything you want in a Liverpool midfielder—composed, tidy on the ball, tactically intelligent and humble. Advertisement There's a sense that had he come through during Klopp's early rebuild, he'd have played far more often. But in a side now stacked with elite talent, there's no shame in admitting the path is blocked. The potential move to Leverkusen actually excites more than it disappoints. Xabi Alonso may be gone, but the club's upward trajectory continues, and if Erik ten Hag does want to build around young, technically gifted players, Morton fits the bill. The SEG connection adds another layer. It's the kind of detail that makes you feel like the stars are aligning for this one. Morton needs to play. Leverkusen need to replace departing midfielders. Liverpool need to keep the squad lean. If Morton does move to Germany, he won't just be another youth product heading out the door. He'll be a player going to one of Europe's most ambitious clubs. That alone should spark a bit of pride in all of us.

Named: THREE Liverpool stars who will be sold this summer
Named: THREE Liverpool stars who will be sold this summer Morton, McConnell and Doak to be sold Some prime academy talent could be made available - with any incoming proceeds counting as 'pure profit' and providing a sizeable cash boost in the market. According to one report in Rousing the Kop, THREE academy stars on the cusp of the first team are likely to be leaving. Advertisement 'Tyler Morton, James McConnell and Ben Doak are understood to be candidates to be moved on,' reads a report in RTK. © IMAGO McConnell impresses Arne Slot Morton, 22, was tipped for a big season having returned from a successful loan spell at Hull City last term. But things didn't work out under Arne Slot, with the midfielder finding first-team football hard to come by before getting injured. Bayer Leverkusen were interested last summer while Middlesbrough were reported to have made a bid in January. If McConnell is to be sold, then it would be somewhat of a shock. Slot was known to be impressed by the 20-year-old, who has played 13 times for the first team. Advertisement Indeed the Dutchman is reported to have blocked a loan deal for the midfielder in January as he wanted to retain him for the rest of the season. He has played in the Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup this term, and has also sat on the bench four times in the Premier League.
