Liverpool out of the race to sign Premier League star after David Ornstein Update

“Exclusive: Aston Villa reach agreement with Morgan Rogers on new contract.”

“Previous deal 2030; fresh terms 2031 with significantly improved salary.”

“Despite strong interest from Premier League + foreign suitors, 23-year-old midfielder to sign in coming days.”
