Manchester United and Arsenal set to battle for Aston Villa's top star
Birmingham's Aston Villa could become the hottest headline maker in the upcoming transfer window.
Details: According to The Times, the club is facing financial pressure and the risk of breaching FFP regulations, forcing them to consider selling their brightest star—Morgan Rogers.
Despite a brilliant first half of the 2025/26 season, financial realities are dictating tough decisions. For the club's management, selling the 23-year-old attacking midfielder seems the "simplest" way to balance the books and avoid harsh sanctions.
The race is on among the English heavyweights: Manchester United and Arsenal have ramped up their pursuit. Reports suggest Aston Villa have set a price tag of no less than £80 million for Rogers.
It's worth noting that the Englishman has featured in 44 matches for the Birmingham side this season, netting 10 goals and providing 7 assists.
Reminder: Real Madrid and Manchester United are locked in a battle for Stuttgart's midfield maestro.
