The England international just signed a new long-term deal at Villa Park, but there are still rumours that he is leaving. Chelsea has made the former Middlesbrough attacker their top priority, while Manchester United has also been mentioned as a possible destination in recent weeks due to worries that club captain Bruno Fernandes will leave Old Trafford this summer.
Although Liverpool is expected to surprise them, Chelsea is said to have the greatest interest in Rogers’ signing. The west London powerhouses are eager to get a man who can rotate with Cole Palmer.
Transfer reporter Indy Kaila claims that Liverpool has spoken with Morgan Rogers’ legal team and that they were not shut out. This is what Kaila said on X. The athlete is open to any approach over the summer.
Rogers has already scored 17 goals in 37 appearances this season across all competitions, and Aston Villa valued him at about €115 million (£100 million). Unai Emery’s club is anticipated to get many official offers for his signing this summer, despite the fact that his current deal doesn’t expire until 2031.
Morgan Rogers has caught the attention of Blues officials
Chelsea feels confident in keeping him and assembling the team around him, but they intend to re-evaluate his long-term status in the summer. Despite speculation that Rogers would be considered as Palmer’s replacement, Chelsea have the exact opposite goal in mind.
The Blues want the two to play together because they regard their solid bond, on-field chemistry, and complementary playing styles as valuable assets for the team’s future, according to TEAMtalk. Since joining Aston Villa, Rogers’ play has significantly improved, and he has thrived under Unai Emery.
Leading teams in England have taken notice of his versatility as an offensive midfielder, false winger, or advanced playmaker. He is seen by Chelsea as a player who may bring out the best in Palmer in addition to being a useful addition to their long-term roster project.
Because of their mutual football education at Manchester City, the two have a natural chemistry that Chelsea hopes will develop into a vibrant creative alliance at Stamford Bridge. Palmer, meanwhile, continues to play a key role in Liam Rosenior’s plans for Chelsea’s reconstruction. He is considered one of the club’s most significant long-term assets, despite recent injuries and rumours.
