Morton spent 17 years at Liverpool but left the club after having discussions with manager Arne Slot about his future. Morton made just five appearances under Slot's leadership.

Morton reflected on his time with former manager Jurgen Klopp, who he credited with giving him the opportunity to play for a big club. Morton felt that Klopp believed in him and allowed him to develop through loan spells.

Morton noted a difference in his experience with Slot, who did not give him much playing time despite being ready. Morton appreciated Slot's honesty in letting him leave the club to join Lyon.

Morton expressed gratitude to both Klopp and Slot, acknowledging their unique contributions to his development. He highlighted Klopp's support and Slot's openness in letting him find a new path.

Two other players, Jarrell Quansah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, also left the club recently, with Quansah joining Bayer Leverkusen for £35 million.

Morton's departure is part of a broader change at Liverpool, with Slot clearing out players who did not fit his vision for the team.
