Aston Villa Set To Receive €100 Million Offer For Their Star Player From Chelsea: Should They Accept It? | OneFootball

According to a report in Fichajes, Chelsea could make a big move to sign Morgan Rogers next year, while Tottenham are also believed to be in the race. Aston Villa are currently clear that they want their 23-year-old star forward to be the foundation of the team, but external pressures could influence their decision in the future.

According to reports, Chelsea are planning to return in 2026, and the club is willing to pay up to €100 million. Aston Villa have already indicated that they want at least €115 million or more for their English international. At first glance, this demand may seem high, but it is also true that Chelsea have a history of investing heavily in young players.

It is not a straightforward situation for Villa. Rogers played brilliantly last season, registering 14 goals and 16 assists and with this, he played for the England team for the first time. His versatility and energy have made him a key part of Unai Emery’s plans.

Meanwhile, it’s worth remembering that the club tried to sign Diogo Costa this summer, but the Emiliano Martinez transfer fell apart, and that deal was shelved. They also targeted Jaydee Canvot, but could not sign him this summer. The discussion around Morgan Rogers becomes even more interesting under these circumstances, as he has become the face of the club’s project rather than just a player.

What should be done?

The question now is whether Aston Villa should turn down such a huge offer. €100 million is a tempting amount for any club, especially at a time when financial pressures are everywhere due to the Profit and Sustainability Rules.

The Swiss Ramble has previously pointed out that the amount could have a direct impact on Villa’s balance sheet and make it easier for the club to manage its expenses. On the other hand, such a huge amount can also give Emery the opportunity to strengthen the team in many new positions.

However, the other side of this debate is even more serious. The way Morgan Rogers played last season is a symbol of future hopes. His England debut, Champions League experience and multifaceted playing style make him the heartbeat of Villa. The trust with which Emery has played Rogers is proof that the manager considers him the backbone of the team.

If Villa sell the Englishman now, they may get money in the short term, but in the long term, the team’s goals can be deeply affected. This dilemma might also divide Villa fans: on the one hand, there is a need to keep the club stable, and on the other hand, there is a desire to hold on to a player who can change the identity in the coming years. The discussion among fans will be whether money is more important than the dream.
