Liverpool poised for a surprise deal to sign Aston Villa star

Liverpool are on the cusp of winning the Premier League title. However, Arne Slot and the club do not want to stand still, and big plans are in place for the summer. The Reds manager is pushing for a real revamp of the squad that would see his stamp on the team ahead of next season.

Slot is looking to aggressively reshape the squad ahead of the 2025/26 season. He is keen to have a new-look attack around Mo Salah next season, and wants more flair and goals in his team.

The Liverpool manager wants more creativity in midfield, and the club are tracking several attacking midfielders ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Merseyside giants are also looking at Premier League-proven talent, and if things go according to plan, one such player could be on the move in the upcoming months.

The Reds have their eyes on an Aston Villa star

According to Anfield Watch, Morgan Rogers is a player Liverpool admire and are keen to take to Anfield in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has been a revelation at Villa this season, scoring 14 times and registering 13 assists in all competitions for the Villans.

He is the kind of goal threat Slot wants in his midfield next season, and his homegrown status also appeals to the Merseyside giants ahead of the summer.

Villa do not want to lose the attacking midfielder, but the Premier League’s PSR guidelines could force them to sell Rogers in the summer transfer window.

The club have lost more than £200m over the last two seasons, and if they do not qualify for the Champions League, Villa will have to make a big sale in the summer if they want to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United on a permanent deal.
