Overview

• Reports say Chelsea are very keen on the 23-year-old and are tracking his situation as he has not opened fresh contract talks with Aston Villa.
• Aston Villa were prepared to consider bids only above £80 million in the summer, underscoring their position that the player is not for sale at a discount.
• Interest from Arsenal and Tottenham was explored, but no formal offers materialised and Rogers did not push to leave, according to reports citing The Telegraph.
• Rogers signed an extension reported last November that runs to 2030, strengthening Villa's negotiating leverage for any future approaches.
• After a breakout campaign last season, the England international has started 2025–26 without a goal or assist as Villa search for form.
