Liverpool did not make an active move to sign Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers during the 2025 summer transfer window but remain interested in his progress for potential future opportunities. Despite Liverpool's heavy spending—exceeding £400 million and including record-breaking signing Alexander Isak for £125 million—the club is reportedly monitoring Rogers' development throughout the 2025-26 season.
Rogers, who turned 23 in July 2025, is a versatile attacker capable of playing either on the left wing or as a number 10. His playing style features strong ball-driving skills towards the final third. Notably, in the 2024-25 Premier League campaign, Rogers carried the ball into the final third 68 times—the highest among Premier League forwards and surpassing Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who recorded 59 such carries.
In terms of end product, Rogers scored eight goals and supplied 10 assists in the 2024-25 season, marking his best top-flight statistical output. However, he had not previously reached eight goals plus assists combined in earlier campaigns spent in lower divisions. Given his recent progress and young age, Liverpool staff see potential for further development as Rogers approaches his prime years.
The club's willingness to track Rogers aligns with their plans for future transfer windows, possibly including targets like Michael Olise, as they continue to strengthen their squad beyond the immediate summer dealings.
