Aston Villa Set to Approve £150m Summer Transfer for ‘Modern Footballer’
Aston Villa is currently focusing on securing a spot in next season’s Champions League. Meanwhile, former midfielder Lee Hendrie expressed concerns about the future of Morgan Rogers at the club. He believes that the talented 23-year-old could become England’s most expensive footballer.
Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers: A Rising Star
Since a slow start to the season, Rogers has significantly improved his performance, contributing to nine goals in just 13 Premier League matches. His recent form has not only impressed fans but has also garnered attention on the international stage.
Potential Transfer Fee of £150 Million
Hendrie suggests that if Rogers continues to excel, Aston Villa may need to confront serious transfer bids. According to him, it could take around £150 million to retain Rogers. He notes, “Top players, if they’re not competing in the Champions League, often seek opportunities elsewhere.”
Interest from Major Clubs
The former Villa player also highlighted the potential interest from top clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal. The demand for Rogers stems from his versatility and unique qualities.
- Physicality and Creativity
- Ability to play multiple positions behind the striker
- Strong international presence with the England team
Hendrie emphasized Rogers’ intelligence and dedication, stating that he is clearly driven to reach the highest levels in football. As he prepares for the upcoming World Cup, expectations for his performance are quite high.
Conclusion
The transfer market often sees talented players moving for substantial fees, especially when clubs are competing at the highest levels. With ongoing pressure from major competitors, Aston Villa must act decisively to keep hold of their star player.
