"Chelsea are rivalling United, as well as Liverpool and Arsenal for a potential deal, however TeamTALK have stated that it is the Blues who are pushing hardest to complete the deal. The report goes on to say that even though Villa really don't want to sell, they are putting his price tag above the £100m which Jack Grealish's move to City brought in for the club."
"The 2025/26 campaign has been highly successful for the England international. He has already levelled his Premier League goal tally from last season, and is a shoo-in to go to the 2026 World Cup."
"While there would be some serious competition from best mate Cole Palmer for a place in the number 10 role, bringing in Rogers could immediately elevate their quality on the left of attack. Reports have already stated that Garnacho's place at the club is not safe, despite only joining at the start of the season."
Chelsea are the frontrunners among multiple top clubs competing to sign Aston Villa and England winger Morgan Rogers. Despite Rogers recently signing a new contract with Villa, he remains a potential target if the club faces financial pressure to sell. Chelsea's previous attempts to recruit wingers, including failed moves for Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens, have motivated their pursuit of Rogers. Aston Villa have set his asking price above £100 million, matching Jack Grealish's transfer fee to Manchester City. Rogers has had an exceptional 2024/25 season, matching his previous season's Premier League goal tally and securing his place in England's 2026 World Cup plans. Chelsea could offer Rogers immediate playing time on the left wing, though he would compete with Cole Palmer for attacking positions.
