Chelsea has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Aston Villa concerning the transfer of attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers. Sources familiar with the situation indicated that Aston Villa has accepted a bid valued at approximately 137 million euros, although the finalization of the transfer agreement is still pending. The negotiations surrounding the move have been comprehensive, as Rogers has simultaneously secured a personal contract with Chelsea.
This agreement reportedly secures his services at Stamford Bridge for a duration of six years, extending his commitment until 2032, and includes an option for an additional season extension. The 23-year-old player has expressed a strong desire to join Chelsea, citing the club’s overall development project and the appointment of new coach Xabi Alonso as key factors influencing his decision. While other clubs, including Arsenal, had previously shown interest in the player, the current focus remains on the completion of the move to Chelsea.
The final procedural steps are scheduled for this week, with medical examinations set to take place on Monday. The completion of these tests is expected to finalize the transfer and cement the agreement between the parties involved. The move, if concluded, would represent a significant acquisition for Chelsea as they continue to build their squad for the upcoming season.
