Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers reported for his medical examination with Chelsea on Monday as he prepares to finalize a transfer valued at £117 million, according to Sky Sports. Should the player pass these checks, he is expected to ink a six-year deal at Stamford Bridge, which includes an option to extend his stay until 2033.
The 23-year-old athlete returned to England on Sunday after concluding his participation in the World Cup, where he helped secure a third-place finish. His transition to the London club is anticipated to be completed within the next few days.
Chelsea acted decisively to finalize the acquisition, beating out competition from Arsenal. While Rogers was the Gunners’ primary target, they were unwilling to meet the substantial valuation. This transfer fee establishes a new record for the highest amount ever paid for a player in Britain.
