LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Aston Villa are intent on retaining Morgan Rogers and have made it clear that he is not for sale.
Despite strong interest from Premier League heavyweights Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, Villa view the England international as a cornerstone of their upcoming Champions League campaign.
The club’s hierarchy, led by manager Unai Emery, are determined to fend off any transfer bids for the 23-year-old.
High Valuation
To even consider entering talks, Villa are reportedly demanding a valuation close to £100 million. The price tag is intended to deter interest rather than encourage negotiations.
Contract Security
Rogers is in a strong position at Villa Park after signing a long-term contract extension, giving the club full control over his future and no pressure to sell.

Financial Context
While Villa must manage Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), they would strongly prefer to part with other fringe assets before considering the sale of Rogers. The midfielder is regarded as untouchable within the club.
Transfer Interest: Europe’s Elite Are Circling
Rogers’ impressive season has made him one of the most sought-after attacking players in Europe.
He recorded double-digit goal contributions in the Premier League and scored in Villa’s Europa League final victory.
Arsenal: Mikel Arteta reportedly views the versatile youngster as a priority target to add creativity and attacking quality to the Premier League champions’ squad.
Chelsea and Liverpool: Both clubs continue to monitor Rogers closely as they look to strengthen their options this summer.
His versatility across the front line makes him an attractive prospect.
Villa’s message remains clear: Rogers is staying. With Champions League football returning to Villa Park, Emery sees the England international as central to his plans.
Unless a club meets Villa’s £100 million valuation — a scenario the club do not expect — Rogers will remain a key figure in their attack.
For now, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have been told to look elsewhere.
