Man United and Chelsea Weigh Moves for Aston Villa’s £100m-Rated Morgan Rogers

Financial pressure tied to Champions League qualification could shape Villa’s stance.

Overview

  • Villa’s £100m-plus valuation, reported Monday by Football Insider and echoed by Yahoo and other outlets, has not discouraged leading bidders.
  • Sources say Manchester United and Chelsea are preparing summer approaches after a season in which Rogers has eight league goals and five assists.
  • Reporting says Villa want to keep Rogers on his contract through 2031 and will try to sell other players first to balance the books.
  • Multiple reports say failure to reach the Champions League could force sales, with one suggesting Ollie Watkins might leave for about £30m.
  • Reporters expect interest and pricing to rise if Rogers features for England at this summer’s tournament.
