Aston Villa and Middlesbrough have come to terms on an agreement for the acquisition of promising winger Morgan Rogers. The 21-year-old, who has made 26 appearances in the Championship this season, is set to join Villa. The agreed-upon deal involves an initial fee of £8 million, with the potential to reach £16 million if all add-ons are fulfilled. This marks a substantial profit for Middlesbrough, who signed Rogers for £1 million from Manchester City just six months ago, with City benefiting from a sell-on clause.
Middlesbrough’s recruitment, overseen by head of football Kieran Scott and chief executive Neil Bausor, has resulted in a notable financial gain in a short span.
Throughout the winter transfer window, Villa has expressed a strong interest in bringing the talented 21-year-old to the Premier League. Now, it seems they have emerged victorious in securing his signature.
Aston Villa’s manager, Unai Emery, has emphasized his desire to retain the services of midfielder Jacob Ramsey, considering him “very important,” amidst ongoing speculation about Ramsey’s future.
