Chelsea are reportedly preparing to start discussions regarding the acquisition of highly-rated midfielder Morgan Rogers. Chelsea's scouting department considers him a valuable long-term investment. The Blues are evaluating whether the player is interested in joining them before proceeding with a formal offer. Intermediaries are expected to contact both Aston Villa and Rogers to evaluate the possibility of a transfer. Aston Villa could be willing to approve Rogers’ exit if a substantial offer is made. Nonetheless, Villa holds a strong negotiating stance since Rogers is contracted until the summer of 2030.

Chelsea is reportedly showing significant interest in potentially signing Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers, as reported by Simon Phillips on Substack. The club sees a chance to acquire Rogers this summer, especially since Aston Villa may need to sell players to comply with Financial Fair Play rules. Rogers has been a key player for Unai Emery’s team this season, having contributed 14 goals and ten assists across all competitions. Chelsea is aiming to replace underperforming attackers such as Joao Felix and Pedro Neto, and even Cole Palmer has not consistently performed well this season. Rogers could potentially provide an upgrade and bring diversity to Chelsea's attacking midfield roles.

Chelsea are among the clubs likely to compete with Arsenal for Morgan Rogers. Aston Villa are desperate to keep him after his breakout campaign, but he is reportedly open to a transfer if the right opportunity arises. Aston Villa value him at €106m.

Chelsea are keen on a possible summer deal for Morgan Rogers, but TEAMtalk reports that Chelsea believe Rogers’ high price point is likely 'too difficult to navigate.' The transfer is considered difficult because Aston Villa has no plans to let Rogers leave. His valuation is upwards of £80m, and a fee over £100m might be necessary to secure his transfer.

The Sun has reported Chelsea's interest in Morgan Rogers as Aston Villa faces financial difficulties. Chelsea is said to be keen on acquiring Rogers because Aston Villa might be compelled to undergo a 'transfer churn' due to profit and sustainability (PSR) regulations. With Villa's wage bill surpassing 90% of their revenue, they could be forced to sell key players, including Rogers. Chelsea regards Rogers as a versatile forward capable of playing in various attacking roles and is interested in enhancing their goal-scoring options. Rogers might be drawn to the idea of moving to London to join his England teammate and former academy colleague, Cole Palmer.

Chelsea are plotting a summer move for Morgan Rogers, who is a close friend of Cole Palmer. The move is aimed at taking advantage of Aston Villa's financial woes. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market worth at 50 million euros.
