The player who received Tottenham's attention chose to stay by renewing his contract.
Reporter David Onstein, who boasts the highest public confidence in the European football transfer market, reported on the 8th (Korea time) 'Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers signed a new contract by 2031.'
Onstein was given a huge boost by signing a new contract with Rodgers. Rogers was already signed until 2030, but the signing of the contract will extend an additional 12 months and significantly increase his salary. Rodgers will be one of the highest-paid players in the Villa club. After lengthy negotiations, the club was able to reach a favorable conclusion with Rodgers, thanks to the strong relationship between the club director and the agent. In less than two years, he signed a third contract, he said.

Rodgers was a former Manchester City youth team player who had already been recognized for his potential through the England national team by age. However, the wall of Manchester City's first team was high. Rodgers, who was on loan, moved to Middlesbrough ahead of the 2023-2024 season and gave up his debut in Manchester City's first team. Rodgers, who exploded his potential at Middlesbrough, immediately moved to Aston Villa in six months and entered the EPL.
Since last season, he has been a key resource for Villa. He scored 14 goals and 13 assists in 54 games. This season is a bit disappointing with 15 games, one goal and three assists, but he is still playing a key role in the team.

Initially, Tottenham also targeted Rogers. Tottenham wanted to recruit Rodgers from the transfer window last summer, and wanted to fill Son Heung-min's transfer gap by recruiting Rodgers, who can play both offensive midfielders and wingers. However, Rodgers did not choose to transfer at the time and stayed in the villa. As Rogers even signs a contract, it seems difficult for Tottenham to try to recruit for the time being. Considering the high salary and long contract period, Villa are likely to respond to Rogers' transfer interest with huge transfer fee demands.
In addition to Tottenham, it is expected that it will be difficult for Dang to bring him to Chelsea and Manchester City, which used to target Rodgers. He is expected to repay the team that trusted him with his performance by extending his companion to Villa.
