Chelsea readying one of the boldest moves of the summer – Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers to reignite Enzo Maresca’s burgeoning attack. Villa are standing firm but the Blues are working on a mega offer. Meanwhile, Napoli’s interest in Chelsea’s wing stable only complicates this transfer web further.
Chelsea eye creative spark with major Rogers move
Morgan Rogers has been identified as a vital Chelsea target with the 22-year-old England international winning Maresca’s admiration due to his versatility, understanding of pressing and decision-making in the final third. Chelsea are reportedly readying a player-plus-cash deal for the ace, with Nicolas Jackson and/or Tosin Adarabioyo potentially heading the other way to sweeten the deal.
While Aston Villa say Rogers is “not for sale,” they are under financial pressure to adhere to the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules. Chelsea also need to balance the books around their own wage structure before they can register any new arrivals for European competition with UEFA. But while working within those limits, the Blues now believe Rogers could be the missing link in Maresca’s fluid frontline – and they aim to close the deal. They view him as a future star, not just a short-term solution
Napoli monitor Chelsea shake-up
Napoli is keeping track of Chelsea winger’s condition. Not necessarily trying to poach Rogers, but among the options for an exiting player if the Blues transformation heats up. With Noni Madueke now a fully-fledged Arsenal player, all eyes have turned towards Mykhailo Mudryk, who remains banned as authorities investigate him over doping allegations.
Chelsea’s interest in Rogers could trigger an even broader domino effect. Napoli are waiting in the wings should any more doors open. One thing is clear: for now, Chelsea are all in on Rogers—and this bold move is already sending shockwaves across the continent.
