Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers has caught the eye this season with a string of impressive performances, drawing interest from several top Premier League sides, including Liverpool.
The 22-year-old has flourished under Unai Emery, contributing 14 goals and 15 assists, and earning accolades such as “fantastic” from pundit Pat Nevin.
Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, is reportedly eager to add more creativity to his squad, and Rogers has emerged as a prominent target.
However, the young midfielder is expected to reject a potential move to Anfield.
Transfer Considerations Linked to England Ambitions
As reported by TBR Football, Rogers is leaning towards staying at Villa, mainly due to concerns about securing regular minutes at a bigger club—a key factor with the 2026 World Cup approaching.
Players hopeful of making Thomas Tuchel’s England squad are said to be cautious about switching to top-tier teams where playing time may be limited.
Journalist Graeme Bailey commented:
“There’s no doubt Liverpool admire Morgan Rogers, but a transfer this summer is unlikely. With the World Cup in sight, he’s wary of making a move that could jeopardize his spot in the England team.”
With fierce competition for places at Liverpool, Rogers’ decision to prioritize consistent game time at Villa appears strategic. He remains a central figure for the club and continues to develop.
At just 22, Rogers is in no rush and seems determined to wait for the right moment to make a major career move—one that supports both his club and international aspirations.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are pressing ahead with their transfer plans and are now focused on signing Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez as part of their summer rebuild
