AliousWolves Make Surprise Move for Liverpool’s Rising Star Kieran Morrison Amid Growing European Interest
As the summer transfer window approaches, yet another Liverpool prospect could be heading for the exit — and this time, it’s an emerging Academy gem.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Wolverhampton Wanderers have made contact with Liverpool regarding 18-year-old midfielder Kieran Morrison. The transfer expert added that Wolves have shown “genuine interest” in the teenage talent, with additional interest also coming from clubs across Europe.
Morrison, a former Manchester United youth product, has quickly risen through the ranks at Liverpool. This season, he made the jump from the U18s to the U21 squad and produced an impressive return of six goals and five assists in 27 appearances. His progress has not gone unnoticed, particularly considering he only signed his first professional deal with the Reds last month — a fact that makes this early transfer speculation even more intriguing.
The young Northern Ireland U19 international hasn’t yet broken into Liverpool’s senior side, but his performances at youth level have clearly put him on the radar of top-level scouts. Wolves, who are looking to bolster their midfield depth with long-term prospects, see Morrison as a potential coup.
His name now joins a growing list of potential departures from Anfield, with Kostas Tsimikas already rumoured to be on the move and Darwin Núñez sparking speculation with a cryptic social media post following Liverpool’s end-of-season parade.
As new head coach Arne Slot begins planning for the upcoming campaign, he will have to decide not only on the future of established names but also on whether to retain or release promising young players like Morrison. If Liverpool continues to allow Academy graduates to leave without first-team opportunities, it may reflect a broader concern about the club’s trust in its own development pipeline.
