After two and a half seasons with Aston Villa, Morgan Rogers is expected to attract serious transfer interest this summer. The Athletic report that almost all of Europe\u2019s elite are circling the 23-year-old and that a move appears increasingly likely even though Rogers has not been agitating for one. Villa have priced any sale at the $134 million (\u00a3100 million) figure set by Jack Grealish\u2019s 2021 move to Manchester City.<\/p>\n
Liverpool remain admirers after watching Rogers in the penultimate Premier League fixture last term. The club value his ability on the left, but their recruitment priorities are said to be defensive reinforcements, a holding midfielder and more natural wide forwards. The managerial picture after Arne Slot\u2019s successor\u2014almost certainly Andoni Iraola\u2014adds context to Liverpool\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich have also been linked as Vincent Kompany looks to deepen an attacking group featuring Harry Kane, Luis D\u00edaz, Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala. Bayern\u2019s recent interest in other wide options, including a pivot towards PSV Eindhoven\u2019s Ismael Saibari after Anthony Gordon\u2019s Barcelona move, suggests they may be reluctant to make a nine-figure commitment and Rogers could be deterred by fierce competition for minutes.<\/p>\n
Chelsea fit the BlueCo model of recruiting high-potential, Premier League-proven talent. The club\u2019s failure to reach any European competition last season might be a drawback, but Xabi Alonso\u2019s arrival and the possibility of a 3-4-2-1 setup similar to his Bayer Leverkusen side would create a role alongside Cole Palmer. Cole Palmer is identified as “a close friend of Rogers from their days at Manchester City\u2019s academy,” a connection that could influence Rogers\u2019s thinking.<\/p>\n
Manchester United possess an existing relationship through Michael Carrick, who coached Rogers at Middlesbrough and used him 33 times. United\u2019s return to the Champions League and a shortage of natural left-sided options\u2014Matheus Cunha and Patrick Dorgu are currently the only choices\u2014make Rogers an attractive solution to relieve Bruno Fernandes of creative responsibility. Financing such a transfer alongside other targets remains a potential obstacle.<\/p>\n
Each prospective destination offers different appeals and barriers: playing time, tactical fit and the financial threshold set by Villa will shape where Rogers might go this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
