There is no indication that Chelsea’s desire for high-profile acquisitions will abate. The Stamford Bridge management is prepared to open the pocketbook once more now that they have one of the Premier League’s best young players in their sights.
Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers has become a top target, with the Blues willing to spend far over €100 million for the 21-year-old midfielder, according to FootballTransfers.
Throughout the top division, Rogers’ breakthrough campaign has drawn attention. With 14 goals and 15 assists in all competitions, he is not just one of Villa’s best players but also among the nation’s most effective attacking midfielders.
“Even though Villa valued him at €106 million, Chelsea has not been deterred and would be willing to pay another three-figure sum this summer,” according to FootballTransfers. Under the Boehly-Clearlake ownership model, Chelsea has embraced an aggressive recruitment policy in recent transfer windows, which is reflected in this transaction.
Chelsea believe they have opportunity to sign Morgan Rogers
The chief journalist for TBR Football, Graham Bailey, is aware that Aston Villa is still certain about Morgan Rogers and his future. Rogers has become one of Europe’s best young attacking midfielders after an incredible season with Villa.
Arsenal and Chelsea are closely monitoring his condition, as TBR Football recently disclosed. We can now verify that the two London teams had inquired in recent weeks.
But according to what we’ve been told, Villa has made it clear that Rogers is not available and that they don’t need to sell him due to any PSR concerns. Rogers is valued by Aston Villa at more than £100 million, according to sources who spoke to TBR Football.
If they were considering a sale, they would make a higher demand than the amount they got for Jack Grealish when he joined Manchester City in 2021.
According to reports, Rogers is content at Villa under Unai Emery and is not in a rush to quit the team. Although Villa will expect a club-record amount in the event of a sale, Emery has made it clear that Rogers will not be allowed to depart.
