Manchester City’s board of directors has decided to put everything on the club’s financial muscle to secure the signing of superstar Morgan Rogers. The 23-year-old dynamic striker has become the star of Aston Villa after capturing the coveted Europa League title.
TEAMtalk and journalist Graeme Bailey confirms that the Sky Blues aim to bring back their own former academy player. However, the journey will not be easy, as Arsenal are ready to invest an impressive sum of €116 million and Aston Villa have no desire to sell.

Bidding war with major European clubs
In the midst of this intense bidding war, we find Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain – all lured by Rogers’ remarkable mobility and versatility.

Faced with this landscape, the Birmingham management will not facilitate a departure. They will demand an amount that breaks all historical records for summer transfers. The coming weeks will be crucial for the future of a player who is destined to dominate the big stages of European football.
