Chelsea prepare huge offer for Morgan Rogers transfer

Chelsea’s recruitment team are reportedly weighing up a huge offer worth €150 million for Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers.

As we reported yesterday, Rogers is firmly on Chelsea’s radarand there is a feeling within the industry that Villa may have to sell for PSR reasons.

Now a report of Transfers takes the story up a notch, stating that Chelsea chiefs have considered the possibility of signing Rogers for a fee of up to €150 million.

The report explains that this type of fee could be extremely beneficial for Villa and allow them to spend more after some recent difficult transfer windows.

Will Morgan Rogers seal a record transfer to Chelsea?

If Rogers moved to Chelsea for €150m it would be a club record for the Blues and a huge statement of intent from this ownership.

The England international is a hugely impressive talent, contributing seven goals and five assists in all competitions for Villa so far this season.

At the age of 23, Rogers is also young enough to fit into this Chelsea project, but would also have the advantage of arriving with more experience than some of their other recent signings.

Rogers really checks all the boxes for the Blues and could help them take their project to a new level, although it’s admittedly also difficult to see them paying this much money for him.

How much could Morgan Rogers cost?

Fichajes says this deal could happen for 150 million euros, but the Spanish outlet sometimes has to be taken with a grain of salt.

This type of fee would make Rogers one of the most expensive signings in English football history and would surely give Chelsea serious PSR concerns.

That said, the west Londoners also have a great squad full of young players, many of whom will have seen their transfer value rise since their arrival, which could mean there is potential for significant sales to help balance out major outlays like this.
