Liverpool are no longer among the clubs most active in the pursuit for Aston Villa playmaker Morgan Rogers ahead of the summer transfer window.
Rogers has 12 goals and nine assists this season, highlighting just why the top teams in Europe are desperate to add him to their lineups. Reports suggest that it will take a minimum of £100m to sign him from Aston Villa, however, and that’s money Liverpool don’t have to burn.
They spent £460m in the 2025 summer transfer window, with reports now stating that with around £100m in projected player sales revenue, Liverpool will spend around £250m in the summeer head.
While that sounds like a lot – and it is – Liverpool need to replace Mo Salah, Andy Robertson, and potentially Alisson Becker. That’s not to mention that Luis Diaz and Jarell Quansah have yet to be replaced after their respective moves to the Bundesliga.

Liverpool cool interest in Morgan Rogers
According to Ben Jacobs, Liverpool ‘are not as active’ as the likes of Arsenal and PSG in the hunt for Rogers’ signature as the summer transfer window inches closer with each Premier League gameweek.
Reporting via talkSPORT, Ben Jacobs said: “Paris Saint-Germain have joined Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea as the most genuine suitors for the 23-year-old.
“Rogers scored against PSG in Aston Villa’s 3-1 loss at the Parc des Princes last season in the Champions League quarter-final second-leg and is understood to have been impressed by the atmosphere.
“Sources have told talkSPORT that Rogers is not ruling out a move away from England and is an admirer of PSG coach Luis Enrique.
“PSG are still deciding whether to proceed this summer with a new winger or No.10 given Desire Doue and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia are not for sale, and Bradley Barcola is also a player the French champions intend to keep.
“Liverpool also appreciate Rogers but are not currently as active as other suitors.
“Arne Slot’s side is prioritising a right-winger to replace the departing Mo Salah, while Yan Diomande is a contender to fill the void left by Luis Diaz, who departed for Bayern this summer.”
Yan Diomande seems nailed on to join Liverpool in the summer, which would greatly bolster their attacking lineup given his 1v1 prowess, pace and power. The player wants to join Liverpool and it’s expected that agreeing personal terms won’t be an issue.
Liverpool will need multiple attacking signings to replace Diaz and the soon-to-leave Mohamed Salah.
