Aston Villa Braced for Morgan Rogers Bids With Chelsea Named as Leading Suitor

Champions League revenue may decide whether Aston Villa can refuse major offers for the 23-year-old winger.

Overview

  • Morgan Rogers is expected to draw serious summer offers, which Football Insider reported Thursday with Chelsea described as at the front of the queue.
  • Former Villa chief executive Keith Wyness said Champions League qualification could prevent a Rogers sale by easing financial pressure.
  • Wyness also said Villa could look to move on five or six squad players to raise funds and refresh the team.
  • Football Insider reported Villa could accept proposals for Ollie Watkins and Amadou Onana to help balance the books.
  • The Mirror reported Bayern Munich now joins Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea in tracking Rogers, with Villa expected to seek more than £80 million after giving him a new deal in November, while Football Insider said Enzo Fernández’s uncertain status at Chelsea could shape their pursuit.
