Tyler Morton attracts seven English clubs as Lyon keeps control

Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Tyler Morton would be monitored by several Premier League clubs, with a possible push as early as the next winter transfer window. Arriving at Lyon in the summer of 2025 from Liverpool, the twenty‑three‑year‑old player is already at the centre of a significant case.

English clubs interested

According to information from Ekrem Konur, seven English teams are monitoring the midfielder: Sunderland, Newcastle, Everton, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Liverpool. This list shows the extent of the interest generated by Morton's performances since the start of the season.

Market value and contract

Morton is under contract with Lyon until June 2030. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is now estimated at thirty million euros, three times the fixed fee paid by the club to sign him in 2025. The initial transfer was concluded at around ten million euros, with up to five million euros in bonuses and a sell‑on percentage for Liverpool.

Liverpool's role

The former English club retained twenty percent of any future resale profit, which leads it to closely monitor the progress of its former player. An offer as early as January 2027 would therefore be possible, according to the relayed information.

Implications for Lyon

For Olympique Lyonnais, a potential sale at thirty million euros or more would represent a significant financial transaction. The long contract until 2030 nevertheless gives the club solid bargaining power.
