Overview
- Manchester United’s pursuit gathered pace on Saturday after several outlets said Michael Carrick asked director Jason Wilcox to move for Rogers.
- Sky Sports reporting says Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG are also weighing moves, creating the chance of a bidding fight.
- Aston Villa are widely reported to want £80m–£100m, while separate reports of a €90m or £78m United bid remain unconfirmed.
- A contract to 2031 gives Villa control, with a 20% Middlesbrough sell-on on profit inflating any fee.
- Rogers has roughly 10 goals and 7 assists this season, which helps explain why multiple elite clubs are circling.
