Chelsea are already drawing up a list for the summer transfer window and have been linked with one of England's rising stars.
Chelsea have reportedly registered interest in Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers, as they are keen on splurging this summer after freeing up funds for profit and sustainability rules.
The 22-year-old joined the Villans from Middlesbrough in the winter transfer window of 2024, and he immediately slotted into the starting lineup and has kept his place since.

Chelsea’s interest
Rogers, who is close friends with Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer, with the pair even sharing a trademark celebration, is said to have gotten on the Blues’ radar.
The midfielder has been sensational for the Birmingham outfit this season, with 14 goals and 13 assists in all competitions. Some of those goal contributions came in Villa’s remarkable Champions League run to the quarterfinals.

Hence, Villa do not consider selling him. However, they may not have a choice, as their financial reports, as relayed by the Independent, revealed that their wage bill is a whopping 90% of their revenue. While their deep UCL run aided their balance, they need to make next season's competition to improve their PSR standing.
The England international has a contract with Villa until 2030, and his market value is at €50 million. Despite splurging in past transfer windows, Chelsea are still capable of being active participants in the summer after selling club assets, including their women's team.
