"The Blues have apparently placed the 23-year-old at the top of their wish list when it comes to squad planning for 2026, aiming to reinforce their attacking midfield section. At Stamford Bridge, Rogers is seen as a player perfectly capable of answering to the physical demands of the Premier League, while boasting enough technical quality to improve the team on the European stage as well, and still with time and space for improvement."
"The race is, however, far from over. Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are both believed to be monitoring the situation closely, and Manchester City, who were interested prior to acquiring Rayan Cherki, could return to the fray too. As for Aston Villa, they have no intention to sell Rogers at all at this point and have made that clear to all parties, but reports suggest an offer of around £80 million could be enough to tempt them into reconsidering their stance."
Chelsea have moved ahead in the race to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa and have placed the 23-year-old at the top of their squad planning for 2026. The club targets Rogers to reinforce their attacking midfield and values his ability to meet Premier League physical demands combined with technical quality for European competition. Chelsea also view Rogers as a player with room to improve. Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are monitoring the situation, and Manchester City could return to interest. Aston Villa currently do not intend to sell, but an offer of around £80 million might change their stance.
