“Liverpool have an advantage over Chelsea and Arsenal in the £80m transfer race due to a clause that applies exclusively to them.”

Liverpool Hold Advantage Over Rivals in Morgan Rogers Pursuit

Liverpool are reportedly leading the race to sign Aston Villa’s talented attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers, ahead of Premier League rivals such as Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham. The 23-year-old has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising young players, and a major transfer move seems inevitable.

Chelsea and Spurs showed late interest in Rogers during the summer window, while Arsenal considered a move before choosing to pursue Eberechi Eze instead. Liverpool, long-time admirers of Rogers, may now be in pole position due to a special clause.

According to the Kop Correspondent, Liverpool have a unique agreement with Aston Villa stemming from Harvey Elliott’s transfer to Villa. This clause reportedly allows Liverpool to match Rogers’ asking price and secure his signing — potentially as early as January. The release clause is said to apply exclusively to Liverpool, with Rogers himself eager to make the move. The exact fee is not yet confirmed, though previous estimates valued the player at around £80 million.

Having already spent big this summer on top-tier talents like Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool could be preparing to make Rogers their next marquee signing. If the clause is real, it could represent a major blow to the hopes of Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham in this transfer battle.
