  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Morton, who graduated from Liverpool's youth academy, made his senior debut during the 2021-22 season, but has only made eight appearances for the club since then. He spent the last two seasons on loan at Blackburn Rovers and Hull City, respectively. In the 2023-24 campaign, the midfielder had a fruitful season with the Tigers as he appeared in 41 matches across all competitions, scoring twice and providing five assists.

  Morton's impressive outing in the Championship caught the eye of Bayer Leverkusen manager Alonso, who has expressed his desire to bring in the 21-year-old on loan to the Bundesliga champions, according to The Times. The Reds had previously valued their youth player at £20 million (€23m/$26m) and it now remains to be seen if they are willing to let the youngster leave on a temporary deal.
