Rogers had an outstanding 2024-25 campaign, scoring 14 goals and producing 15 assists to establish himself as one of the most dangerous wide attackers in Europe. Chelsea are known admirers of the 22-year-old, who is close friends with Blues forward Cole Palmer, while Arsenal are also in the market for a wide player and are monitoring developments closely. As things stand, however, Mail Sport understands Villa intend to resist offers for Rogers, even though they will sanction player sales before the end June to ensure they comply with Premier League spending rules. A year ago, the departure of Douglas Luiz to Juventus guaranteed Villa would meet profitability and sustainability regulations and between now and June 30 there could be a similarly significant sale. Leon Bailey is no longer regarded a key man by Unai Emery and has admirers in the Saudi Pro League, while it is thought Jacob Ramsey would be available for about £40million. Aston Villa are keen to hang onto Morgan Rogers this summer after a fine season from the midfielder last term Chelsea are known admirers of Rogers, who is good friends with Blues star Cole Palmer Unai Emery will instead sell other stars, with Leon Bailey and Lucas Digne linked with exits If the midfielder leaves Villa, the fee could be banked as pure profit as he is a product of the club’s academy, which is invaluable for the PSR balance sheet. Meanwhile, Emery is keen to keep Lucas Digne but the Frenchman has only one year remaining on his deal and has yet to be offered a new one, amid interest from Atletico Madrid.
