Wyness Claims Release Clause in Morgan Rogers’ New Aston Villa Deal as England Monitor Hamstring Niggle

The long-term contract to 2031 is secure, yet a targeted buyout is being mooted as top-flight interest persists.

Overview

  • Aston Villa have confirmed Morgan Rogers has signed a new contract running to 2031.
  • Former Villa chief executive Keith Wyness told Football Insider he believes the extension includes a detailed release clause limited to a shortlist of clubs.
  • Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham were linked with Rogers in the summer, with Birmingham Live also referencing Liverpool interest.
  • England head coach Thomas Tuchel said Rogers sustained a hamstring “niggle” in training and his fitness would be assessed for Serbia, while The Athletic reported he was still expected to start at No.10.
  • Tuchel described Rogers as in direct competition with Jude Bellingham for the playmaker role, noting they could feature together only in a different structure.
