Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in Morgan Rogers, according to reports on an expected transfer <\/a>battle for the signature of the Aston Villa midfielder in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Rogers has emerged as one of the Premier League<\/a>\u2019s top creative players since joining Unai Emery\u2019s Villa just over two years ago. The 23-year-old has played his way into the England national team and his goals and assists\u201451 since signing for Villa\u2014have been a big part of the club\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

Trained through childhood by West Bromwich Albion and at Manchester City\u2019s academy between the ages of 17 and 20, Rogers is reported by The Times<\/a> as a target for Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. Sky Sports<\/a> names the same three Premier League clubs, but also adds Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A reluctant sale could happen after Villa posted substantial financial losses in recent seasons. The club\u2019s only profitable campaign of the last three completed was the result of \u2018selling\u2019 the women\u2019s team to its own parent company\u2014UEFA tellingly didn\u2019t recognize that transaction.<\/p>\n

But Rogers is under contract until 2031, terms he signed in November. That at least puts Villa on course to qualify for the Champions League<\/a> for the second time in three years, in a strong position when it comes to potentially negotiating a transfer fee.<\/p>\n

Rogers to Rank Among Most Expensive English Players\"Morgan<\/p>\n

Rogers is valued at a reported $107.7 million (\u00a380 million) by Aston Villa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That would make him the equal-fifth most expensive English player of all time alongside Harry Maguire\u2014and behind Jack Grealish, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane\u2014and is partly motivated by a sell-on clause from Villa\u2019s original transfer agreement with Rogers\u2019s former team.<\/p>\n

EFL Championship club Middlesborough is owed 20% of any profit Villa make on Rogers, bought for up to $18.9 million on Feb. 1, 2024 after only a few months at Boro.<\/p>\n

Villa will surely hope that a strong World Cup<\/a> for England over the summer drives the price up, likely meaning they will at least resist transfer negotiations until after the tournament.<\/p>\n

Man Utd\u2019s Potential Transfer Advantage Over Rivals\"Michael<\/p>\n

Arsenal <\/a>and Chelsea <\/a>both showed interest in versatile Rogers last summer, before his immediate future was committed to Aston Villa with that new long-term contract.<\/p>\n

The Gunners are in the market for a left winger and have also been linked with Newcastle United\u2019s Anthony Gordon and PSG\u2019s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rogers, who primarily plays as a No. 10, fits Chelsea\u2019s transfer brief of signing young, developing players. Their renewed interest is intriguing given there is already speculation surrounding Cole Palmer, who has been loosely linked with Manchester United<\/a>, the club he supported growing up, due to alleged homesickness for England\u2019s northwest.<\/p>\n

United lack a left-sided forward\u2014fullback Patrick Dorgu filled that role in Michael Carrick\u2019s first two games before getting injured. Rogers played the position against the Red Devils during a meeting in December. He scored twice and Aston Villa won the game 2\u20131<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rogers already has a history with Carrick, who was manager at Middlesbrough during the player\u2019s half-season there. He has spoken positively about the 44-year-old, who is hoping to be appointed permanent United manager ahead of next season. Quotes from Rogers published in January 2026 revealed that he had a close relationship with Carrick at Middlesbrough, with an open \u201cline of communication\u201d that has survived despite no longer working together.<\/p>\n

Carrick was disappointed to see Rogers leave so quickly, but said when United faced Villa earlier in the season: \u201cYou could always see what he was possibly going to be capable of and the potential in terms of his attributes, the way he carries the ball, he can play off his left foot, play off his right foot, create and score goals and really good athletically.\u201d<\/p>\n
