Aston Villa have placed a valuation of well over £100 million on Morgan Rogers as they brace for what they expect to be a formal approach from Arsenal, sources have informed.

Arsenal are creating room in their squad for a marquee attacking addition by moving Leandro Trossard to Besiktas in a deal worth around £17 million.

http://www.mamzinobet.comRogers has emerged as one of the Gunners’ leading transfer priorities alongside Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. Chelsea are also monitoring the England international as they explore reinforcements for their forward line.

With multiple top clubs showing interest, Aston Villa are in a strong negotiating position and have little incentive to consider offers below their asking price.

Villa’s confidence has also been strengthened by the current transfer market, where soaring fees for elite attacking talent continue to set new benchmarks. Despite the growing interest, the Midlands club remain firm in their stance that Rogers is not for sale and would only contemplate an extraordinary bid.

Reports have suggested Rogers could command a fee as high as £130 million, and while that figure may be ambitious, Aston Villa are confident his valuation comfortably exceeds the £100 million mark.

Recent big-money transfers have only reinforced the club’s position. Tottenham’s £85 million move for Mateus Fernandes, the £100 million deal involving Sandro Tonali, and Manchester City’s club-record £116 million agreement for Elliot Anderson have all helped redefine the upper end of the market this summer.

Against that backdrop, Villa believe an asking price in the region of £120 million for Rogers is fully justified, given his age, potential, and growing reputation.

Despite Aston Villa’s lofty valuation, sources indicate Arsenal remain undeterred in their pursuit of Rogers and are continuing to assess the possibility of a move.

No formal contact has been made between the clubs so far, but discussions are expected to gather pace as the start of pre-season draws closer.

Should a deal for Rogers prove too difficult, Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola remains a leading alternative on Arsenal’s shortlist. The North London club have also explored the possibility of signing Club Brugge winger Christian Tzolis, who is likewise attracting interest from Tottenham.
