Rogers for 138 million from Aston Villa to Chelsea.

The article reports on a major football transfer involving Morgan Rogers moving from Aston Villa to Chelsea for £117 million (€138 million), setting a new English record. The deal was confirmed by multiple media outlets including the BBC and Press Association, with well-informed football journalists like Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein supporting the report. Rogers, a 23-year-old attacking midfielder, has agreed to a six-year contract with an option for an additional season. He will undergo medical tests on Monday before the clubs finalize the transfer. While Arsenal also showed interest, Rogers chose Chelsea under manager Xabi Alonso. This transfer surpasses previous records, including Manchester City’s £117 million payment for Elliott Hall last month and the £107 million fee for Enzo Fernandez in 2023. Rogers began his career at West Bromwich, played for Manchester City’s second team, and had stints with Lincoln City, Bournemouth, and Blackpool before joining Aston Villa in 2023.
