Liverpool<\/a> have cooled their interest in Morgan Rogers<\/a> amid growing admiration across Europe, the latest report has claimed.<\/p>\n

The Reds enjoyed another win on the weekend, beating Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0<\/a><\/strong> on Saturday to advance into the fifth round of the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah<\/a> excelled on the day, scoring once while also providing an assist, though he has been consistently linked with an exit after explosive comments critiquing<\/a> <\/strong>boss Arne Slot<\/a> in December.<\/p>\n

Should the Egyptian leave, the Reds may look to find a new starter in the frontline, with Aston Villa<\/a>‘s Rogers rumoured to be a target.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0TEAMtalk<\/a> have claimed that amid interest from the likes of Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>, Liverpool have denied they held talks with the player’s representatives.<\/p>\n

Why Morgan Rogers does not make sense for Liverpool<\/p>\n

Rogers has enjoyed an exceptional season for Villa, scoring eight goals and registering five assists in the Premier League<\/a><\/strong>, and he has rescued the club several times this season.<\/p>\n

While the Englishman would boost the strength of Liverpool’s squad, it is not clear if there would be a place for him in the XI given he has either played as a left-winger or as a number 10.<\/p>\n

Florian Wirtz<\/a> has been designated as the team’s attacking midfielder, while Hugo Ekitike<\/a> and Alexander Isak<\/a> will both be looking to start next season.<\/p>\n

The only place in the team that Rogers could play would be from the right, but using him on that flank would almost certainly be a waste of his talents.<\/p>\n

What do Liverpool need in the summer transfer window?<\/p>\n

Even if the Reds deploy a two-striker system in the event of Salah’s departure, they will need to find ways of threatening teams in wide areas.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande<\/a> made public comments about his admiration of Liverpool,<\/a><\/strong> and he has shown immense promise as an outlet on the right.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the 19-year-old would benefit playing alongside an experienced attacker such as Isak, though fans would still have to be patient given his age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool have cooled their interest in Morgan Rogers amid growing admiration across Europe, the latest report has claimed.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":771720,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,4230,393,68644,94,707,2826,4884,179,22138,7126,101,4151,93,68303,10938,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-771719","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-cycling","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-epl","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-formula-1","14":"tag-golf","15":"tag-great-britain","16":"tag-liverpool","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-olympics","19":"tag-premier-league","20":"tag-rugby","21":"tag-sport","22":"tag-sports-mole","23":"tag-teams","24":"tag-tennis","25":"tag-uk","26":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116089506091919043","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=771719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/771720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=771719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=771719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=771719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
