Chelsea are interested in signing Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rodgers during the summer transfer period.
According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, the 23-year-old midfielder is the target of Chelsea’s dream and wants to sign him in the summer. However, you will need to pay around £80 million to complete the transaction.
Rodgers is currently one of the best young players in the Premier League and stands out for Aston Villa. He has the ability to grow into a star in the future. He could be an exceptional acquisition for any club. Rogers is also linked to Arsenal.
It has been revealed that he is looking for a price from Rogers.
“If he can praise him from Aston Villa, I know that he will be a dream signature for Chelsea,” he told Football Insider.
“Bruce is a big admirer of Rogers and sees him as someone who can improve the quality of his team.
“They have been monitoring his development for a long time and hope to take him to Stamford Bridge this summer.
“I think the price will put off the club as I’m looking for more than £80 million.”
Will Chelsea decide to submit Morgan Rogers’ offer?
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea decided to test Aston Villa’s resolve with an offer in the coming weeks. If they can get the Rogers deal done, it would be a masterstroke. The asking price may seem expensive, but players can justify future spending.
Chelsea is one of the largest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them could be exciting for midfielders as well. He can compete with them at the highest level and test himself in the Premier League. He will also get the opportunity to fight for the trophies regularly.
Rodgers had an impressive season with Aston Villa, but he intends to improve only through coaching and experience. He scored 14 goals last season and earned 15 assists. Chelsea needed more goals and creativity in offense, and Rogers might have changed them.
