Morgan Rogers may depart Aston Villa this summer, with many Premier League teams rumored to be interested in the England international.
The attacking midfielder signed a new six-year deal with Villa earlier this season, however reports indicate that he is already looking at his options. According to The Sun, Rogers is eager to join a team that consistently competes for trophies.
Villa have made great improvements under Unai Emery, reaching the Champions League quarter-finals last season and are currently in a strong position to qualify for the event again, either through the league or by winning the Europa League.
While Rogers remains a critical character, sources suggest that Villa would not prevent his exit if their asking price is met. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea are thought to be following the situation.
EXIST AGREEMENT
According to reports, the player and club have a shared understanding that this summer may be the ideal time for them to split ways.
Villa have been navigating financial fair play regulations, therefore selling their most valued asset for more than £100 million would offer major financial relief. Securing Champions League participation would provide a significant financial boost, but it does not ensure that Rogers will stay at the club. Failing to qualify for the Champions League would almost certainly force his resignation.
Relationship Truth
Despite his essential role, his departure might go well due to his great connection with both Emery and the club’s top administration, according to The Sun.
It is believed that they would not object to his departure if a suitable offer came in. Villa would likely want more than £80 million for Rogers. Indeed, a transfer may exceed the £100 million they received from Manchester City for Jack Grealish.
Liverpool hints
Such a pricing would be within Liverpool’s budget. There’s little doubt that the Reds will be seeking to invest considerably this summer, following such a dismal title defense and with Mohamed Salah set to leave the club.
Rogers has already shown his affection for another Anfield hero by picking Virgil van Dijk in his ideal five-a-side squad. Speaking with the BBC earlier this season, Rogers praised the Dutchman’s presence and said: Simply being there, I believe, terrifies individuals.
The other members of his squad were Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, Yaya Toure, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
