Morgan Rogers is attracting £100 million interest from several clubs, and a potential Aston Villa exit could see Middlesbrough receive a world-record sell-on fee. The 23-year-old England international has impressed at Villa Park under Unai Emery, with Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Arsenal among the clubs monitoring his situation.
Middlesbrough sold Rogers to Aston Villa for £16 million in 2023, just months after signing him from Manchester City for £1.5 million. The deal reportedly includes a 20 per cent sell-on clause, meaning the Championship side could bank up to £20 million if a £100 million transfer materialises. That would rival the fee Independiente del Valle received when Moises Caicedo moved to Chelsea for £100 million.
Middlesbrough head of football Kieran Scott previously said: “I won’t say what amount but there’s a good sell-on for the club. It would end up being a great signing for someone who played for 5½ months for us.” The club are currently third in the Championship, chasing promotion to the Premier League for the first time since 2018.
Rogers signed a new long-term contract with Villa until 2031 last year. He has scored 27 goals and provided 21 assists in 115 appearances for the Midlands club. Villa have so far managed to retain key players like Emi Martinez and Ollie Watkins despite interest, and will hope to do the same with Rogers.
