Increasing chance of sensational England international double deal at Liverpool

Liverpool’s pursuit of two of England’s brightest talents is gathering momentum, with sources close to the club indicating that a stunning double swoop for Anthony Gordon and Morgan Rogers is edging closer to reality.

The Merseyside outfit have tracked Gordon and Rogers for more than two years, and recent developments suggest the stars may finally be aligning. Newcastle United winger Gordon, valued by his current employers at between £75 million and £100 million, has long been admired by Anfield recruitment staff who view his direct pace and goal threat as the perfect complement to their forward line. Despite signing an extension at St James’ Park in October 2024 that ties him to the Magpies until 2030, Gordon has remained a constant fixture in gossip columns linking him with Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool. While the player publicly insists his focus is fixed on Tyneside, Newcastle’s looming absence from next season’s Champions League – confirmed by weekend results – could force the club to consider parting with one of their prize assets to balance the books.

A similar scenario is unfolding in the West Midlands. Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, who put pen to paper on a lucrative six-year deal in November 2025, has become a cornerstone of Unai Emery’s rebuild, but Villa’s slide down the Premier League table has placed qualification for Europe’s premier competition in jeopardy. Liverpool retain the admiration for the versatile attacker that Fabrizio Romano reported last summer, and the prospect of missing out on Champions League revenue may leave Villa powerless to resist a record offer.

The potential arrival of Rogers dovetails neatly with Liverpool’s midfield restructuring. With Curtis Jones’ future the subject of speculation, the 22-year-old England youth international could provide the creative thrust Jurgen Klopp’s evolving side crave, operating either as a roaming No. 8 or on the flank.

Crucially, both deals hinge on financial rather than footballing logic. Newcastle and Villa have spent aggressively to cement top-four status, pushing wage and transfer structures to the limit. Failure to secure Champions League income almost always triggers marquee sales, and Liverpool are positioning themselves to capitalise. Weekend scorelines that damaged the European hopes of both selling clubs have nudged negotiations in the Reds’ favour, and senior Anfield figures are increasingly confident that a combined package, likely to exceed £150 million, could be achievable should the current trajectory hold.

For Liverpool supporters, the tantalising possibility of adding two home-grown stars in a single window is no longer a distant dream but a developing storyline worth monitoring right up to deadline day.
