Chelsea signs Rogers from Villa
Chelsea Football Club has reached a verbal agreement with Aston Villa to sign English midfielder Morgan Rogers for a record-breaking fee of approximately €137.5 million (£117 million). The player will sign a six-year contract until 2032 with an option to extend, following successful medical examinations scheduled for Monday. Rogers, 23 years old, previously transferred from Middlesbrough to Aston Villa for £7 million plus incentives, and has played a significant role in the team's recent successes, including qualification for the Champions League and winning the Europa League. If the deal is finalized, Rogers will become Chelsea's most expensive player in history, surpassing Enzo Fernández, while Aston Villa will benefit from the player's sale, receiving a percentage of the resale value. Rogers has chosen to move to Chelsea after being attracted by the club’s new plan led by manager Chabi Alonzo, despite Arsenal's efforts to negotiate with him through a £100 million bid.
