He will become the fourth most expensive player in the history of football. After two big seasons with Aston Villa and an interesting World Cup coming off the bench or in the eleven with England, Morgan Rogers is preparing to cross a new stage of choice in his career. Courted by Arsenal, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder will finally join Chelsea for a check for 138 million euros.
An astronomical sum which ignited the world of football a few hours before the World Cup final between England and France. An amount which will also allow Middlesbrough to pocket a huge share of the pie. For what ? Because this is the club that sold him to Villa in 2024. Intelligently, Boro had put a resale clause which will allow them to pocket 17 million euros. Skillful.
