News, goals, and analysis – only on the official A BOLA app. The Chelsea team is set to shake up the English market even further. According to The Athletic, the Blues have reached a verbal agreement with Aston Villa for the signing of Morgan Rogers. The Villans have accepted a proposal of around €137 million made by the London club. The two teams are still finalizing the details of the deal, but Rogers is unlikely to escape the grasp of Xabi Alonso’s squad. The Spanish coach and the project envisioned for the club have been crucial in the 23-year-old creative player’s decision, who also attracted interest from Arsenal. Rogers, currently representing England at the 2026 World Cup, is expected to undergo medical examinations on Monday before signing with Chelsea until 2032, with an additional year option. Aston Villa signed Morgan Rogers from Middlesbrough in February 2024 for around €8 million, plus €9 million in bonuses. The creative player recorded 14 goals and 11 assists in 55 appearances for the club last season. If the deal goes through, Morgan Rogers will become the most expensive player of this transfer window in the Premier League, surpassing Elliot Anderson, who cost Manchester City €135 million.
