Tyler Morton left Liverpool to join Lyon permanently in the summer.
Since joining the French side, the midfielder has played 21 times in all competitions. Subsequently, he’s established himself as a regular, also impressing in the Europa League.
As the 23-year-old makes the defensive midfield spot his own, attention from Juventus is emerging.
TuttoJuve report that even if some English clubs are monitoring the ex-Liverpool man, Juve see him as a January target. A move can also be attempted in the summer.
As of now, Lyon value the Englishman at €18m, having signed him for €10m. Even if this would help them earn a capital profit, there is a major complication.
It is the fact that Liverpool inserted a 20% sell-on clause in Morton’s contract. The Reds will earn that percentage of the capital gain that Lyon earn from the midfielder’s sale.
The outlet believe that this aspect can act as a spanner in the works, when it comes to the Bianconeri signing Morton.
For Liverpool, it is not a problem at all. They would ideally want to see Morton grow into an even better player. This will make sure that the money they earn will be higher. He is still only 23 and there is a lot of room for growth.
