The Battle for Morgan Rogers
Aston Villa is bracing for a massive fight to keep breakout star Morgan Rogers this summer. Despite having a long-term contract and being central to Villa’s future plans, the 23-year-old’s “Player of the Year” caliber performances have pushed his valuation north of £100m.
- Liverpool and another unnamed “Big Six” club are reportedly undeterred by the price tag.
- The Reds have previously shown a willingness to spend nine figures on elite talent, potentially putting Rogers in the same category as past targets like Alexander Isak.
Goalkeeper Rumors: The £50m Question
In a move that has raised eyebrows, Liverpool is being linked with a £50m move for Sunderland’s Robin Roefs. While Roefs has been stellar in the Championship, a move seems unlikely unless Alisson Becker departs, given Liverpool already secured Giorgi Mamardashvili last summer and still employs Freddie Woodman.
Contract Updates: Robertson & Konate
Liverpool is looking to secure its defensive depth with two key contract negotiations:
| Player | Current Status | The Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Ibrahima Konate | Expiring this summer | New talks are “imminent” to keep him as a long-term partner for Van Dijk. |
| Andy Robertson | Expiring this summer | A |
Note: If a deal isn’t reached for Robertson, both Tottenham and Celtic are reportedly waiting in the wings to sign the veteran left-back.
