Rival fans stunned as Liverpool set for another Quansah-like deal, ‘how are they so good at selling?’

Liverpool have enjoyed an incredibly fruitful transfer window, both in terms of incomings and outgoings.

The Reds have already signed Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong among others, and Alexander Isak could also join Liverpool soon.

Liverpool have also done incredibly well in moving players on, to the point that rival fans are tipping their proverbial hats to the Reds.

For instance, Jarell Quansah left for Bayer Leverkusen in a £35million deal, while Real Madrid paid Liverpool £10million to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold before the Club World Cup.

Now, Liverpool are reportedly set to sell another fringe player for a seven-figure sum, and rival fans are once again wondering how they do it.

Rival fans cannot believe Liverpool are set to get £15million for Tyler Morton

On Friday evening, Fabrizio Romano reported that Liverpool academy graduate Tyler Morton was nearing a £15million move to Lyon.

“Olympique Lyon, closing in on Tyler Morton deal with Liverpool for £15million transfer fee,” Romano wrote on X. “Negotiations at final stages.”

Fans from rival clubs, such as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, could barely believe their eyes.

“Liverpool about to sell a total random for £15m?” one fan wrote on X, along with cry-laugh emojis.

Another said: “And Arsenal struggling to offload Nelson, Trossard and Zinchenko. Make it make sense.”

The praise – and comparisons – kept coming, with one fan saying: “And we can’t sell Sancho for £15m…”

Another wrote: “Liverpool and Chelsea are the best clubs when it comes to selling their players.”

And another said: “Sancho is also going for £15million…the state of my club man smh.”

Liverpool fans explain why Tyler Morton can command £15million fee

A number of Liverpool fans sought to reply to the rival supporters who wondered just how they do it.

“He has had two loans to the Championship and both times were one of the best midfielders in the league,” one Reds supporter wrote of Morton.

“Plus played plenty of minutes for us in cup games and Champions League.”

Another said: “He is class, we had loan offers for him last season from Leipzig and Leverkusen and we didn’t let him go.”
