TRENDING RUMORS
– Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are reportedly pursuing Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa, as stated by TEAMtalk. PSG has been watching the 23-year-old closely this season, while Liverpool is eager to secure his services alongside Manchester United and Arsenal. Rogers’ representatives are aware of the interest, but with a contract at Villa Park until 2031, a hefty transfer fee would be necessary for his departure.
– In transfer news, AC Milan is expected to end their interest in winger Christian Pulisic , despite interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur. Previous reports suggest an offer of approximately €70 million would be needed to convince the Serie A club to part ways with Pulisic, but they are looking to retain him, as he currently serves as their top scorer with eight league goals this season.
– Manchester City is reportedly targeting Newcastle’s right back Tino Livramento, according to TalkSPORT. Guardiola’s squad has been keeping an eye on the 23-year-old for several months, envisioning him as a long-term addition to their defense. While Newcastle hopes to secure Livramento with a new contract, he has not yet shown interest in committing.
– Newcastle forward Nick Woltemade is reportedly unhappy at the club, as reported by Bild. Woltemade, who transferred from VfB Stuttgart for €75 million in August, may desire a return to the Bundesliga soon, with openness to rejoining Stuttgart or moving to Bayern Munich, who had also shown interest during the summer. The 6-foot-6 German international has netted 10 goals in 38 outings for Newcastle this season.
– Liverpool is reportedly in advanced discussions regarding a new contract for midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai. As per TEAMtalk, the club has no intention of letting go of the 25-year-old amid growing links with Real Madrid and is ready to fulfill all his demands to keep him at Anfield. Szoboszlai has had a remarkable season, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 34 matches, and his current contract runs until summer 2028.
EXPERT TAKE
ESPN’s Sam Tighe provides insights on Morgan Rogers’ future.
Rogers has swiftly emerged as an exceptional talent. Initially acquired for £8 million from Middlesbrough just over two years ago — after not making an impression at Manchester City’s academy — he has become a vital attacking asset for a robust Aston Villa outfit and is now a coveted player.
He currently tops the charts for goals and assists among all Premier League players aged 23 and under, with a total of 13 contributions, surpassing players like Hugo Ekitiké, Florian Wirtz, Cole Palmer, and Rayan Cherki, despite having played nearly every minute this season.
The England international is difficult to contain when moving forward, capable of shrugging off defenders while dashing into space and utilizing quick footwork to navigate tight areas. He has scored several stunning long-range goals this season.
Whether Villa can retain him may hinge on their qualification for the Champions League, as the 23-year-old feels satisfied in the Midlands — frequently praising manager Unai Emery, whom he describes as a “genius.” Should Villa fail to qualify, a bidding war could easily exceed £80 million for Rogers.
