Darwin Nunez gives thumbs-up as Tyler Morton shares new Liverpool message
Tyler Morton and Darwin Nunez have both been linked with moves away from Liverpool in what is proving to be a busy transfer window at Anfield.
Morton, 22, has been heavily linked with a move to West Ham following a season on the fringes of Arne Slot’s squad and impressive displays for England Under-21s.
Football Insider revealed last July that Liverpool are open to letting Morton leave, but he would command a “significant” fee – with the same plan in place this year.
Nunez, meanwhile, is widely expected to depart Anfield permanently with the likes of Napoli and Atletico Madrid prepared to compete with Saudi Pro League offers.
This comes as former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Liverpool could slash Nunez’s asking price if talks do not accelerate.
As things stand, the pair have now returned to pre-season training at Liverpool despite the speculation surrounding them, and remain part of Arne Slot’s squad.
Liverpool open to Morton and Nunez exit after pre-season return
Slot is leading an ambitious window at Liverpool and has not been shy to spend big on new players, increasing speculation that some may have to leave.
Morton would guarantee the club pure profit as an academy product, while freeing Nunez’s wages off the bill and freeing space in the squad has been a priority.
Brown told Football Insider in April that Slot will not hesitate to sell players this summer as he plans a major overhaul of his squad in the near future.
Taking to Instagram on 22 July, Morton shared an image of himself alongside Nunez in training, which was originally posted by the club’s official page.
With speculation surrounding the future of both players, fans will be keeping a close eye on their situations before the Premier League season begins.
Alexander Isak update emerges after Hugo Ekitike deal agreed
Alongside potential departures from Anfield this summer, there remains a focus on big-name signings, with Hugo Ekitike set to arrive soon.
Football Insider revealed on 22 July that Liverpool are now unlikely to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle after completing a deal for Ekitike amid ongoing speculation.
The Magpies have remained firm on their stance that Isak is not for sale, but are concerned that the ongoing speculation may have distracted the forward.
This comes after Football Insider revealed that Newcastle believe Liverpool are attempting to unsettle Isak by making their interest in him public.
