Morgan Rogers has been linked with a move to Liverpool for a while now amid his brilliant stint with Aston Villa.Reports earlier this month claimed the Reds were ready to come to the table for Rogers, with the former Middlesbrough man also having interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.A Villa Park exit for the Englishman could still be on the cards this summer, but a move to Anfield now looks less likely with Liverpool’s interest appearing to have cooled.

Or will it be another difficult campaign? 😬 Photo Credit: Getty Images/Carl Recine Liverpool cool interest in Morgan RogersRogers is expected to cost a lot if and when he secures a transfer, with the Telegraph previously saying a ‘near-£100m’ fee will be needed to get a deal done.Whether that is what has put the Merseyside outfit off a deal or not remains to be seen, but they are no longer thought to be as active in their pursuit of the Aston Villa star.Instead, Ben Jacobs has reported on X/Twitter that Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG are the teams still looking at the player.He stated: “Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG are the most genuine suitors for Morgan Rogers. “Liverpool and Bayern not as active as of now.

Understand Rogers is just as open to a move abroad as staying in England and has admiration for Luis Enrique.”Liverpool target wide optionWhile Rogers is a capable winger, he is more suited to a central role, which is an area Liverpool are already covered in thanks to Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai.Signing a player like the Englishman wouldn’t make sense as a result, as the Reds can’t really fit Wirtz and Rogers into the same XI on a consistent basis.Instead, a pacey winger should be targeted, and that is seemingly what those in a position of power at Anfield are looking at.Rafael Leao is eyed in a cut-price deal, with Fabrizio Romano recently saying that Premier League clubs are interested and have called about the AC Milan winger.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
