The Nigeria international joined the Reds on a season-long loan from Chelsea over the summer but has found game time hard to come by at Anfield.
However, Moses was boosted with a goal in Liverpool’s 2-0 FA Cup victory over AFC Bournemouth on Saturday and Rodgers has hinted he would be keen to keep the 23-year-old if he can up his efforts on the training ground.
‘For Victor it is very simple,’ said the Reds boss. ‘He wants to remain in a position that he will remain at a big club, whether it is Chelsea or Liverpool. There is no bigger motivation than that.
‘In order to do that he needs to be performing day in, day out in training.
‘If he does really well for us there is a possibility we will want to have him permanently but ultimately it is Chelsea’s decision because he is their player. And if he has done really well, then they will want to keep him.
When you sample the life of the big institutions like Liverpool, then there’s not many that want to leave.’
And Rodgers says despite a slow start on Merseyside, Moses has impressed him in recent weeks.
‘I have seen improvements in his training’ he added.
‘If the top players are training nine or 10 out of 10 every day and you have players who are five or maybe six out of 10 every day, then they are not ready to train with them, never mind play games with them.
‘So you have to get them up to the level.’
