Tonali's replacement. Newcastle ready to sign former Liverpool player Tyler Morton

It seems Sandro Tonali's departure is inevitable, and the Magpies' coaching staff are already lining up his replacement.

Details: According to Sportsboom, Newcastle's management understands that keeping team leader Sandro Tonali this summer is unlikely, so they're actively searching for someone to step into the midfield general's shoes.

One of the main candidates to replace Tonali is Tyler Morton from Lyon. The 23-year-old Morton is a product of Liverpool's academy and is well-versed in English football. Lyon are open to letting the young talent leave, but they've made it clear that they won't consider offers below €40 million.

Tyler Morton joined Lyon in the summer of 2025 from Liverpool for €10 million. He has made 29 appearances for the French giants, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. Morton's current contract with Lyon runs until 2030, and his market value is estimated at €18 million by Transfermarkt.

Reminder: Lyon want to keep Endrick at all costs
