Chelsea's pursuit of Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers continues despite the £80m price tag that deterred them over the summer of 2025.
The 23-year-old has impressed at Villa, drawing attention from the Blues who see him as a potential addition to their attacking lineup.
Rogers' versatility and form make him a target, but Villa's firm stance on valuation reflects his importance to their squad.
This interest aligns with Chelsea's strategy under new management to bolster youth and talent.
Meanwhile, in related football news, Manchester United has been boosted in their chase for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba due to the Seagulls' financial results.
Baleba, a 21-year-old Cameroon international, fits United's midfield rebuild plans.
These transfer gossips highlight the competitive Premier League market, where clubs balance squad needs with financial fair play constraints.
Chelsea's persistence with Rogers could lead to a January bid, testing Villa's resolve.
The young forward's development at Villa, including key performances, justifies the high fee, but Chelsea's financial muscle might prevail.
Tags in football transfers often involve player values, club rivalries, and international talents, underscoring the global nature of the sport.
