He Chelsea is surpassed again. The ‘blue’ set has been worn out 137 million euros in Morgan Rogers who will sign until 2033 and comes from Aston Villa. With this transfer, the team led by Xabi Alonso has once again established a new transfer record, after the signing of Enzo Fernandez on the winter market in 2023. “I’m very excited. For me, Chelsea is the biggest club in London and a club that I have always admired since I was a child,” said the player in the club’s official announcement.
Morgan Rogers, who played in the last World Cup with England, leaves Villa Park after three seasons in which he achieved glory with the achievement of the Europa League last season. During his time in Birmingham he accumulated 125 matches in which he scored 31 goals and gave 29 assists. The playmaker will meet again with Cole Palmer to form one of the most lethal duos in the Premier League. Both met both in the lower categories of England and in the Manchester City youth team and now they will meet again to fight for qualification to the Champions League and, predictably, for the league title.
Xabi Alonso will have one of the best current English players at his disposal and Morgan is already ‘looking forward’ to being under his command. “I am very excited about the project, with the new coach, with the players we have and with the direction the club is taking. That is why I am here and I really want to get started,” he declared.
This signing is the second of the Xabi ‘era’, after Marco Palestra. This season they have also joined Geovany Quenda, Denner, Satpaev and Emmanuel Emeghabut those transfers had already been made prior to the appointment of the Basque coach.
