Liverpool have a few hours left to sort out their final pieces of business before the transfer window shuts for another summer.

Ben Doak reportedly has loan offers from the Championship whilst Liverpool are working on selling Nat Phillips, who up until now has not had any concrete bids or interest despite being allowed to leave all summer.

Having signed Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa, the odds of Liverpool bringing in another player based on current rumours feel low, with Arne Slot seemingly done with incoming for his first window in charge of the Reds.

Yet the Dutch coach has seemingly told on Liverpool youngster he won’t be leaving this summer.

Tyler Morton set for Liverpool stay after rejected Bayer Leverkusen loan bid

According to the Daily Mail, Tyler Morton is set to stay at Liverpool having rejected a loan bid from Bayer Leverkusen for the midfielder, with the Reds preferring to sell the youngster on a permanent deal worth around £20m.

The England youth international is regarded as one of Liverpool’s most exciting prospects having thrived in the Championship in the last two seasons with Blackburn Rovers and Hull City, with a permanent move on the cards this summer for Morton.

However, with Liverpool rejecting another loan approach from German champions Leverkusen this time around, Morton now looks set to remain at Anfield for the summer, a decision that some fans might disagree with.

Indeed, Morton is at a stage in his career where the midfielder will want to be playing regular football, and early signs at Liverpool this season seem to suggest that the 21-year-old won’t feature as much as he would like in the coming months.

Liverpool might regret not loaning out Morton this window

Morton is clearly good enough to play some sort of role for Liverpool this season, with the midfielder proving out on loan last season in the Championship that he’s ready for the professional game.

Yet with Slot already settled on his favourites in the midfield, it could be hard for Morton to break into the starting XI, especially if the players ahead of the youngster remain fit for the season.

As a result, Liverpool could live to regret not loaning out Morton, especially to a club as big as Leverkusen where the midfielder would have got the best education possible under former Anfield great Xabi Alonso.
