Aston Villa respond as Liverpool ready Morgan Rogers transfer
Aston Villa could be set for a busy summer transfer window after the conclusion of the season.
Unai Emery realised he needed to increase his squad depth, and the additions he made in the winter transfer window certainly helped his side in their Champions League run.
However, with the Premier League now the only thing left to play for, there is pressure on the Villans to secure a top-five finish to secure another season of Champions League football.
This would also give Aston Villa the opportunity to attract higher-quality players, which would push them further next season.
However, Emery also has to ensure he retains the right players too.
Morgan Rogers being eyed by Liverpool
Villa have some great players, but Emery needs to ensure he keeps the right people in his squad.
One man who has stood out this season is Morgan Rogers, and he is now being linked with a move away from the West Midlands.
The 22-year-old has had an incredible season, playing regularly in the Premier League and the Champions League, contributing to his side’s efforts to push them forward.
| Compeition | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Premier League | 34 | 8 | 8 |
| Champions League | 12 | 4 | 3 |
As a result, it comes as no surprise that Liverpool are interested in a move for Rogers in the summer transfer window as they seek a second Premier League title under Arne Slot.
The top-flight champions may be interested in striking a deal, but TBR Football reports that Aston Villa are insistent that he is not for sale.
Aston Villa cannot let Rogers go
In what is going to be a big season for Villa, Emery is right to be standing firm on where Rogers’ immediate future lies.
With the likes of Ollie Watkins potentially making a move away in the summer, the boss will know that he needs to retain his exciting young talents rather than letting all of his best players leave.
At such a young age, Rogers is an exciting asset, and based on his progress so far, it’s hard to see him doing anything but developing further under his current boss.
If the West Midlands outfit can secure another season of top-level European football, they will no doubt be able to keep players happy where they are.
With a long contract running at Villa Park, Emery is under no pressure to sell, and if he stays put, Rogers will surely become an even bigger part of his side.
