Liverpool's chances of landing a sensational double deal appear to be improving. Two England internationals?
Liverpool have consistently been linked with moves for Anthony Gordon and Morgan Rogers over the last couple of years. Now things appear to be heading in the right direction for that to happen.
Teamtalk recently linked Gordon with Liverpool. He’d likely cost closer to £100m but the winger is the profile the Reds need right now.
Similarly, with Curtis Jones linked with an exit, Rogers could be what Liverpool need to boost their attack-minded options in midfield. Fabrizio Romano was among those confirming an interest ahead of last summer - but Aston Villa held onto him.
Now, however, things could be turning.
Anthony Gordon: Situation Summary
Anthony Gordon is under contract at Newcastle United until 2030 after signing a long‑term extension in October 2024. He is repeatedly linked with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, with reported valuations between about £75m and £100m and suggestions that a summer 2026 move is possible if a top club meets Newcastle’s price. Publicly, he has played down the speculation and said he is focused on Newcastle, but his future is an ongoing transfer storyline.
Morgan Rogers: Situation Summary
Morgan Rogers agreed a new six‑year deal with Aston Villa in November 2025, committing him to the club until 2031 and elevating him into the higher‑earning bracket of Unai Emery’s squad. He has attracted interest from other Premier League and European clubs, but the long contract and key status at Villa give the club strong leverage to keep him. Current reporting frames him as central to Villa’s medium‑term project rather than as an active sale candidate.
Analysis
Liverpool need things to head in their direction with both deals. Newcastle and Villa have massive plans for consistently playing UEFA Champions League football but that means pushing their finances to the limit.
Thus missing out on European football almost always necessitates major sales. Newcastle look certain to drop out of the Champions League for next season, with The Telegraph making it clear that stars are potentially up for grabs - like Gordon.
Villa’s form is also seeing them slide down the table, potentially below this malfunctioning Liverpool side. Again, it opens the door to Rogers departing for a lot of money to offset the the lack of Champions League money.
This weekend’s results certainly moved a potential double deal in the right direction. Let’s see if things continue that way.
