Chelsea are preparing a £100 million offer to test Aston Villa’s resolve on Morgan Rogers ahead of the next summer window.
According to Fichajes, Aston Villa could be in line to receive a nine-figure bid from Chelsea for Morgan Rogers. The Stamford Bridge outfit continues to retain an interest in the England international, as they are reportedly preparing a £100 million bid to test the waters with the 23-year-old Aston Villa mainstay.
Morgan Rogers was a big target for Chelsea as per multiple reports back in the summer, with the club exploring ways in which they could sign the player. Aston Villa had the power then to prevent one of their most important players from leaving the club, and they succeeded in evading interest from elsewhere.
Aston Villa did extremely well in the middle of the season by convincing Rogers to sign a new six-year deal to lock him down for the long-term future. Yet, they are aware that the player, who has put in consistent performances, will continue to attract interest from the biggest and best teams.
Morgan Rogers is now the subject of widespread interest from the top six sides, with Chelsea seemingly considered as the front-runners in the race. It appears the Blues are prepared to test the waters with a nine-figure offer for the 23-year-old Aston Villa mainstay and find out their chances of signing him in the summer.
Chelsea had plans to make a big-money deal, with the report now stating they are prepared to pay £100 million to sign the 23-year-old Aston Villa mainstay. They may not be alone in the hunt, as Manchester United are also interested, while the likes of Tottenham have also admired Rogers before he signed that new contract.
Aston Villa to sell Morgan Rogers?
Unai Emery considers the Englishman as Aston Villa’s most important player, and will want the club to ensure they keep Rogers at all costs. However, there are stark realities that could influence the club’s decision-making, as they will once again have financial constraints that may force the sale of top talents, which includes the 23-year-old.
A £100 million bid would be difficult to ignore from Aston Villa’s perspective, especially because they can book a massive profit on Morgan Rogers. However, their utmost priority would be to keep the player on board, although the future may also depend on Rogers, who will evaluate his options, including the idea of joining Chelsea.
