Overview
- Aston Villa extended Rogers’ contract to 2031 in November in a move framed as rewarding form and protecting valuation.
- Arsenal have joined the race with what is described as ‘genuine’ interest, while Liverpool and Manchester United continue to monitor him.
- Villa are not actively selling and will open talks only for an ‘extraordinary’ proposal, with reports placing the price near or above £100m.
- Chelsea retain strong confidence in their chances, helped by recruitment chief Joe Shields’ long-standing familiarity with the player.
- Rogers has become integral to Unai Emery’s attack and has featured for England, yet Villa’s recent PSR considerations could still shape summer decisions.
