Arsenal is betting on transfer Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa is holding its ground

Arsenal are preparing an official bid for energetic winger Morgan Rogers. The Englishman is contracted to Aston Villa until 2031, which means the club is demanding a hefty transfer fee. Rogers himself is open to a move to Arsenal, but Villa will not drop below the asking price due to a sell-on percentage for Middlesbrough.

Arsenal have been working hard behind the scenes in recent weeks to lure Morgan Rogers away from Aston Villa this summer. The club from London is looking for extra energy and attacking power on the left flank, and trainer Mikel Arteta sees 23-year-old Rogers as the ideal reinforcement. The English attacker was recently involved in England's victory over Croatia and thus rose in prestige.

According to English media, including journalist Sami Mokbel, talks between Arsenal and Rogers' entourage are already well advanced. Rogers is interested in a move to the Emirates Stadium, but an agreement between the clubs has not yet been reached. Aston Villa has not yet received a concrete offer, but is feeling the pressure from London.

Rogers is an important player for Aston Villa, led by trainer Unai Emery. The attacker signed a contract extension until 2031 last month, which means Villa retains a strong negotiating position. Partly because of a strong sell-on clause of 20 percent for former club Middlesbrough, Villa demands at least 85 million euros for the player, otherwise the transfer will not go ahead.

Aston Villa is therefore only willing to cooperate in a departure if the financial conditions are exceptional. Only when Arsenal approach their own transfer record will a deal come closer. It is essential for Villa to keep the team up to standard, especially in view of a busy season with both Premier League matches and European commitments. A departure of Rogers on substandard terms would disrupt the sporting plan.

The soap opera around this English winger seems to continue to unfold in the coming weeks. Whether Arsenal actually wants to invest that record amount and whether Villa will keep its leg is being closely monitored by English and international football followers.
