Overview
- Chelsea have formally submitted a cash-plus-players offer for Morgan Rogers that includes Nicolas Jackson and Tosin Adarabioyo.
- Aston Villa rejected the approach, affirming that Rogers is not for sale and valuing him at more than £100 million.
- With five years remaining on his current contract, the 23-year-old midfielder leaves Villa under no pressure to negotiate a sale.
- UEFA sanctions have compelled Enzo Maresca to include fringe players in offers as part of a broader squad overhaul at Stamford Bridge.
- Unai Emery regards Rogers as central to his project and plans to extend his contract to fend off further bids.
