Liverpool’s decision to sell Tyler Morton in the summer could be about to get even worse as Olympique Lyon are edging closer to signing Endrick.

Since exiting Anfield, Morton has blossomed into an incredible midfielder, with many fans believing that Liverpool should have kept him around and used him this season.

Of course, nobody could have predicted how well he’d do upon leaving Liverpool, but with his performances at Hull City in the 2023-24 season proving how good he could be, the Reds may end up regretting their decision.

And, now that Lyon are set to add Endrick to their ranks in January, Morton could become even better, making Slot’s decision look much worse.

Tyler Morton and Endrick could form a dynamic partnership for Lyon

Fabrizio Romano reported on Saturday that Endrick was now giving his ‘total priority’ to Lyon.

“Endrick, giving his total priority to Olympique Lyon with talks advancing on player side,” he wrote via his personal X account.

“Straight loan, no buy option clause as revealed on Wednesday.

“Final decision in next week, but Endrick’s very keen on OL.”

Not only does this mean that the Ligue 1 outfit will be getting an incredible talent to lead their attacking line, but it will also give Morton another world-class teammate to play alongside.

Most of Lyon’s players at the moment are being outshone by the Englishman, and if Endrick comes in, he’s only going to make him perform even better.

At the moment, the decision to sell the midfielder isn’t a complete regret since we’re only a few months into the campaign.

However, if he continues playing at this level and is able to form a solid partnership with the Brazilian, Morton’s sale could end up being one of Slot’s biggest blunders.

How Tyler Morton could have helped Liverpool out this season

By trade, Morton is a holding midfielder who has always been able to put in a solid tackle and read the game well.

Not only was this shown during his time with Hull a couple of seasons ago, but he also more than proved his worth when playing for Liverpool’s Under-21s.

However, for one reason or another, things didn’t quite work out for the Englishman, but, looking at how things have gone this term, he could’ve definitely done a solid job for the Reds.

He’d have been able to offer some solid cover for Ryan Gravenberch when he was out injured, and he may have also been able to chip in with a goal or two.

Times have been tough for Liverpool this season, but if Morton was still around, he may have been able to help out a lot more than the likes of Wataru Endo.

This is why Slot could end up living to regret his decision about shipping off the Liverpool academy graduate in the future.
