With the season in full swing, Paris Saint-Germain is already making moves in the transfer market. According to Jason Burt, a journalist for The Telegraph, the capital club has entered the race for Morgan Rogers, the 23-year-old midfielder under contract with Aston Villa until 2031.
A high-stakes race.
Morgan Rogers is expected to be the most sought-after player in the Premier League this summer, with a transfer race nearing €100 million shaping up between Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain.
These four clubs are keen to acquire Rogers, whose transfer would cost close to £100 million, including bonuses. Aston Villa are expected to demand more than £80 million, and the price could rise to £90 million if there is a bidding war.
Aston Villa is facing financial difficulties.
Villa does not want to lose Rogers, who signed a new long-term contract until 2031 last November, but will face financial difficulties this summer. This will be the case even if, as seems likely, the club qualifies for the Champions League.
Rogers has an excellent relationship with Villa and their manager, Unai Emery, and is not looking to leave the club. But if an acceptable offer is made, it will be considered, and he This summer could be the opportunity for the club to capitalize on a player who has become its most valuable asset.
A player whose profile matches the targets chosen by PSG and its sporting director, Luis Campos, in recent seasons.

Let’s wait and see how this situation develops, as the capital club isn’t the only one in the running.
Nevertheless, PSG’s current status could clearly tip the scales in their favor should negotiations progress further. This is a story to follow in the coming weeks, with perhaps something concrete emerging. But also, possibly, a denial and the end of this new lead. It’s not impossible, as Paris is often used by the media, agents, and clubs to spice up transfer sagas.
