Morgan Rogers is expected to be at the centre of an £80million transfer tug-of-war this summer, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all renewing their interest in the 23-year-old. The England international has become a coveted attacking midfielder and is expected to be at the forefront of Thomas Tuchel's thinking at the World Cup this summer. Villa did manage to extend Rogers' contract last summer and have him tied down until 2031, without a release clause. The Midlands club face a continued struggle to meet Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) and selling Rogers certainly helps alleviate that issue. Last season's profit of £17m was a welcome reversal of fortunes, but the situation remains delicately balanced.
