Overview
- The agreement adds a year to Rogers’ existing deal, keeping him under contract until 2031.
- Reports say the new terms include a substantial pay rise that puts him among Villa’s highest earners.
- Negotiations were led by director of football operations Damian Vidagany and agent Sam Kohansal, with co-owner Nassef Sawiris also involved, according to reports.
- Sources indicate a previously mooted €100m-plus release clause will not be included, and the formal signing is expected in the coming days.
- The move follows interest from clubs such as Chelsea and Liverpool, as Rogers has become a key figure under Unai Emery and a regular in Thomas Tuchel’s England squads after joining from Middlesbrough in February 2024.
