Aston Villa have received a massive boost with midfielder Morgan Rogers agreeing to a new contract that will extend his stay at the club by a further year.
According to journalist David Ornstein, the Villa playmaker will also ‘handsomely improve his salary’. He reportedly earns £93,750 per week.
The 23-year-old’s previous deal ran until June 2030. However, he will now remain tied to the Birmingham-based club until 2031.
The new terms reflect his rapid rise under Villa manager Unai Emery and place him among the highest earners in the squad.
The Villains recently renewed contracts for John McGinn, Matty Cash, Lucas Digne and Boubacar Kamara.
Rogers’ development since joining from Middlesbrough in February 2024 has been remarkable.
The West Bromwich Albion and Manchester City academy starlet has become a vital component in Emery’s system.
His combination of drive, flair and composure in midfield has earned him regular call-ups under England boss Thomas Tuchel.
The negotiations concluded smoothly thanks to the strong relationship between Villa’s director of football operations, Damian Vidagany, and Rogers’ representative, Sam Kohansal.
Co-owner Nassef Sawiris was also personally involved in ensuring the 2025 PFA Young Player of the Year remained in Birmingham.
This new deal is expected to keep Rogers at the club beyond this summer, but it may not stop Europe’s elite clubs from circling.
Chelsea and Liverpool are reportedly interested in Rogers, but they will need to break the bank to sign him.
While he may eventually depart, Villa have done well to boost his transfer value.
