Sensational £100m Morgan Rogers to Liverpool deal moves even closer

Liverpool want £100m Rogers

PSR will give way to Squad Cost Ratios (SCR) but either way it looks a certainty that the Villans will have to sell a top name in order to stave off financial problems.

A few months back they looked a certainty to secure a return to European football’s top table. But starting with a 4-1 hammering by Arsenal in December they have managed only three wins in 10 Premier League outings.

Their latest outing - on Friday night - saw Villa lose 2-0 to bottom side Wolves at Molineux. Although still third in the table Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all rapidly gaining ground on Villa.
