Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in signing Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa this summer. Fabrizio Romanoconsiders him a top player with the potential to have a strong impact in the coming years. But they both know that Aston Villa feels the same way about the 22-year-old, making a significant profit through John Duran’s sale to Al Nasr last year, and that he has no desire to break up with him.
If Rodgers proves out of hand, it is likely enough, Chelsea is expected to pursue the contract for Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bino Gitten. As the Bundesliga side is keen to turn Carney Chukhuemeka loans into a permanent deal, they feel that achieving will be a much more realistic goal. Liverpool, who sent scouts to watch Rogers several times, will have their own alternative targets if they can’t praise him from Villa Park.
Rodgers has 14 goals and 13 assists to his name in 50 appearances in all Villa tournaments this season.
