Aston Villa have placed a significant valuation on Morgan Rogers as interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain gathers momentum. Reports in The Times list the three Premier League clubs, while Sky Sports adds Paris Saint-Germain to the group of suitors.<\/p>\n
Rogers progressed through West Bromwich Albion as a child and spent time at Manchester City\u2019s academy between the ages of 17 and 20. Villa signed him to a long-term contract in November that runs until 2031, a commitment that leaves the club in a strong negotiating position should they qualify for the Champions League for the second time in three years.<\/p>\n
Aston Villa value Rogers at a reported $107.7 million (\u00a380 million). That price would make him the equal-fifth most expensive English player of all time alongside Harry Maguire, behind Jack Grealish, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane. The figure is partly shaped by a sell-on clause in Villa\u2019s original agreement: EFL Championship club Middlesborough is owed 20% of any profit following a purchase for up to $18.9 million on Feb. 1, 2024 after only a few months at Boro.<\/p>\n
The club faces financial pressure after substantial losses in recent seasons. The club\u2019s only profitable campaign of the last three completed was the result of \u2018selling\u2019 the women\u2019s team to its own parent company; UEFA tellingly didn\u2019t recognize that transaction.<\/p>\n
Villa will likely prefer to delay serious negotiations until after the summer World Cup for England in the hope a strong tournament raises Rogers\u2019s market value. Arsenal and Chelsea both showed interest last summer before Rogers committed his future to Villa. The Gunners remain in the market for a left winger and have been linked with Anthony Gordon and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.<\/p>\n
Rogers primarily operates as a No. 10 and fits Chelsea\u2019s stated brief for young, developing players. There is fresh speculation elsewhere too: Cole Palmer has been loosely linked with Manchester United, while United themselves lack a natural left-sided forward. Patrick Dorgu had filled that role in Michael Carrick\u2019s opening games before injury. Rogers played that wide role against the Red Devils in December, scoring twice as Aston Villa won 2\u20131.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
