Bayern Munich will reportedly look to sign 22-year-old English international Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Morgan Rogers is the subject of interest from Bayern Munich. The Bavarian giants are combing the market for a central attacking midfielder heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Aston Villa playmaker. They are ready to cough up €70 million to sign the English international in the coming months.
Morgan Rogers and his Aston Villa journey so far
Morgan Rogers has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Premier League since joining Aston Villa from Middlesbrough. A native of Halesowen, the Englishman spent his formative years in his homeland, starting his youth career at West Bromwich Albion before graduating from the academy at Manchester City.
However, the 22-year-old could not establish a foothold in the first-team squad at Manchester City and found a stable footing at Middlesbrough. Aston Villa signed Rogers in the winter transfer window of 2024, and the youngster has come leaps and bounds in the last 15 months.
The English international has contributed to 26 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions this season by finding the back of the net 14 times and providing 12 assists. Meanwhile, Rogers has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, with Bayern Munich among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Bundesliga adventure awaits?
Bayern Munich’s interest in Morgan Rogers makes sense. The Bavarian giants are scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the summer transfer window as they prepare to part ways with Thomas Muller after the 2024/25 season ends. So, several candidates, including Cody Gakpo, have emerged on Bayern Munich’s radar.
However, Rogers is also a viable target, with Die Roten ready to launch the offensive to secure his services in the summer transfer window. They are willing to cough up €70 million to sign the 22-year-old Englishman. However, Bayern Munich might face stiff competition from Premier League bigwigs for his signature.
In addition, convincing Aston Villa to part ways with Rogers might be a tall order, with the West Midlands club hoping to keep him at Villa Park beyond the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if Bayern Munich can seal a deal worth €70 million for the English playmaker.
