Liverpool
A player Jurgen Klopp deemed “absolutely exceptional” bids rejected by Liverpool
Share
Liverpool had a calm start to the summer transfer market, but in recent weeks, the window has exploded.
Following their fast agreement to buy Federico Chiesa from Juventus, Liverpool signed Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.
The Italian international is expected to come on Merseyside soon to finalise the deal, but in the meanwhile, the Reds are hard at work refining their team in the background.
Anfield is expected to have a busy finale to the transfer market as several players are connected to departures.
But if rumours are to be believed, Tyler Morton appears to be content to stay at Liverpool, at least temporarily.
The attempt by Bayer Leverkusen to acquire Tyler Morton from Liverpool was unsuccessful
The Telegraph claims that the Reds have rejected an official bid for Morton, who was on loan at Championship team Hull City the previous season, from Bayer Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso.
The article, however, makes no mention of whether the current Bundesliga winners desired a long-term contract or a loan for the midfield player.
Morton is thought to be worth £20 million by Liverpool, and it is unclear if any prospective buyers will be willing to pay that amount.
Morton presents a difficult decision for Liverpool
When Morton made his Liverpool debut in 2021, Jurgen Klopp praised him as a “absolutely exceptional” talent.
Since then, he has improved as a tidy player, and Arne Slot may utilise him as a backup this season.
Liverpool will be without another midfield player as Stefan Bajcetic joins RB Salzburg on loan. Bobby Clark has already left for the Austrian team.
This season, the Reds will participate in four competitions, and in the next few days, Slot will need to make a big decision on Morton.
The 21-year-old is ready to play regularly in the top flight this season after enjoying good loan stints at Hull City and Blackburn Rovers during the last two campaigns.
But it’s unclear whether that is at Liverpool or not.

“Liverpool understood why we couldn’t accept their transfer bid for our $40 million player”
Andre Trindade was reportedly a target for Liverpool last summer, according to Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt, who has been talking up the Brazilian star.
Four new players joined Liverpool’s midfield lineup in the summer as part of an overhaul of that group. Prior to Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch, there was Alexis Mac Allister.
However, there was another name that was frequently associated with a move: Andre Trindade. It still makes some stylistic sense a year later, in the midst of the hunt for a number six that ultimately produced Martin Zubimendi.
However, Andre’s Brazilian club Fluminense insisted that he stay until January at the latest. Andre was kept around for the FIFA Club World Cup, which Pep Guardiola’s team won 4-0 in December. He participated in that match. Despite the winter window, Andre stayed and is still under contract with the South American behemoth. Mario Bittencourt, the president of Fluminense, has now discussed the trade.
He claims that Liverpool made a bid for the midfield player, who was valued at $40 million (£30 million/€35 million), but the Reds comprehended his inability to let the 22-year-old go. Fulham has expressed interest in him as well.
According to him, “Liverpool understood our move and we knew that new offers would come in,” Flashscore reported. This time around, the player and his manager have been really open and honest with us.
We are aware that the player has the last say. We won’t oppose him if he wants to play overseas, and I’ve promised them that I’ll do everything in my power to fulfil this goal.”
According to Liverpool.com, Andre appears to be a player who may succeed in the Premier League, therefore it’s strange that no team has acquired him despite his frequent links to a move to England. It will be interesting to watch how he adjusts if he ever decides to switch.
