PSG battle Premier League giants to sign Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers

Paris Saint-Germain have entered a high-stakes scramble for Aston Villa’s 23-year-old midfielder Morgan Rogers, joining Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea in a contest that could see offers reach €100 million, according to The Telegraph.

Despite penning a contract extension that ties him to Villa Park until 2031, Rogers is suddenly the most coveted English midfielder in the market. Villa, grappling with financial pressures, may be compelled to cash in on a player who has started 41 of 44 matches this season, scoring ten goals and supplying seven assists across all competitions.

Middlesbrough retain a 20% sell-on clause from the £8 million deal that took the Halesowen-born talent to the Midlands in January 2024, meaning any nine-figure sale would deliver a sizeable windfall to the Riverside club.

No formal bid has yet landed on Aston Villa’s desk, but Manchester United’s interest is described as the most advanced. Rogers previously worked under Michael Carrick at Middlesbrough after leaving Manchester City, and Carrick—tipped to take the Old Trafford reins next season—has made reuniting with the midfielder a priority.

Rogers, capped 13 times by England and a probable starter in the national-team engine room, is valued for his versatility and consistency. PSG’s late arrival adds continental glamour to a race previously dominated by Premier League heavyweights, setting the stage for a summer auction that could redefine the midfield landscape in both England and France.
