FC Bayern is reportedly showing interest in the English national player Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa.
According to the Mirror, along with Premier League giants Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea, the German record champions are also in the race for the 23-year-old’s services. Munich is impressed with Rogers and is competing with the aforementioned trio for a potential summer transfer.
At first glance, a transfer for Rogers to Säbener Straße does not seem realistic. While it is certain that a player for the left flank will be signed next season to relieve Luis Diaz, in addition to a new right-back, Rogers only partially fits this role. Although he can also play on the left, he is primarily at home in the attacking midfield. And in this position, the Bavarians are known to be well-staffed with Jamal Musiala and the currently strong-performing Serge Gnabry.
Furthermore, a Rogers transfer would be an expensive undertaking: his contract in Birmingham runs until 2031 after an extension last November. Concrete efforts from other financially strong clubs would likely drive up the potential transfer fee. According to the Mirror, Villa is demanding a minimum of €92 million for his sale in the summer. It is questionable whether Bayern would shell out a high sum for a potential backup.
Morgan Rogers Moved from FC Middlesbrough to Aston Villa
Rogers was developed in the youth academy of West Bromwich Albion. He later spent several years in Manchester City’s academy and on loan at Lincoln City, Bournemouth, and Blackpool. In 2023, he moved to FC Middlesbrough for a transfer fee of €1.2 million, and a year later, he joined Aston Villa for nearly ten million euros.
He impressed greatly last season and was voted the Premier League’s best young player. He also impressed in the Champions League with seven scorer points (four goals, three assists) in twelve games and played the full match in the 1-0 victory against Bayern in the group stage.
Rogers is also showing good performances this season for the fourth-placed team in the Premier League and is therefore a strong candidate for a spot in the English squad for the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. He played 90 minutes in the recent friendly against Japan (0-1). He has made 13 international appearances so far, scoring one goal.

FC Bayern is reportedly interested in English national player Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa.
The Mirror reports that alongside Premier League heavyweights Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea, the German record champions are also in the race for the 23-year-old’s services. Munich is impressed with Rogers and is competing with the mentioned trio for a potential summer transfer.
However, a transfer for Rogers to Säbener Straße does not seem realistic at first glance. While it is certain that a player for the left flank will be signed for the coming season to relieve Luis Diaz, Rogers only partially fits this role. Although he can also play on the left, he is primarily at home in attacking midfield.

Moreover, a Rogers transfer would be a costly affair: his contract in Birmingham runs until 2031 after an extension last November. Concrete efforts from other financially strong clubs are likely to cause the potential transfer fee to skyrocket.
