Kompany is a big fan! Bayern keep an eye on England star | OneFootball

FC Bayern are working hard on their attacking options for the coming season. While negotiations for PSV Eindhoven’s Ismael Saibari are ongoing, the Munich club are apparently keeping an eye on other top-class options, with one name once again cropping up: Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers

According to information from The Athletic, the German record champions are still among the clubs who are keeping a close eye on the England international. The 23-year-old has developed into one of the most exciting attacking players in the Premier League in recent months and is therefore on the radar of several top European clubs

Bayern planning more broadly than just with Saibari

Several scenarios are currently being pursued at the Säbener Straße: Ismael Saibari is the preferred solution for the attack, but internally there are apparently also plans to sign more than just a new attacking player

The Moroccan could primarily function as a flexible attacking player for the center, as his versatility would open up additional options for Vincent Kompany and at the same time spread the workload over several shoulders

At the same time, Rogers remains an extremely interesting profile

Particularly exciting: according to the report, coach Vincent Kompany is said to be a great admirer of the Aston Villa professional

The Belgian particularly appreciates the Englishman’s dynamism, athleticism and versatility. Rogers can be deployed both on the wings and centrally behind a striker, making him a perfect fit for the flexible attacking system that Kompany prefers

Last season, Rogers was one of Aston Villa’s key performers and impressed both as a goalscorer and as an assist man

However, a potential transfer is likely to be anything but easy. Aston Villa have no interest in selling the attacking player and can demand a high transfer fee due to his long-term contract

Competition is also growing

According to The Athletic, Manchester City are also interested in Rogers, although much depends on the plans of future coach Enzo Maresca. Chelsea FC are also said to be keeping an eye on the England international and have not ruled out a move in the summer

Difficult, but not impossible deal

Rogers would undoubtedly be a top-class reinforcement for FC Bayern, but a transfer is likely to be much more financially demanding than that of Saibari

Munich will therefore have to carefully weigh up their priorities on the transfer market, but one thing is clear: after the experiences of recent years, Bayern would like to avoid committing themselves exclusively to a single candidate

That is why Rogers remains a concrete topic at Säbener Straße – even if a transfer is currently still associated with many hurdles.
