Aston Villa Clarifies Its Position on Watkins and Rogers' Future
The British newspaper 'Daily Mail' revealed that Aston Villa is open to selling its striker Ollie Watkins during the summer transfer window, but on the other hand, it completely rejects the idea of parting ways with its young playmaker Morgan Rogers.
The report indicated that Arsenal, which had previously made an offer to sign Watkins during the last winter transfer window, may attempt to acquire him again this summer if it fails to reach an agreement with Benjamin Sesko or Viktor Gyökeres.
The report added that Arsenal's winter offer was lower than expected, and Aston Villa refused to sell any of its key players during that period, especially after the departure of Jhon Duran from the team.
This summer is expected to be an ideal opportunity for the club to sell Watkins, who will turn thirty next December.
In contrast, Aston Villa emphasized its insistence on keeping Morgan Rogers, stating that he is not for sale for any amount less than £100 million, similar to the transfer deal of Jack Grealish to Manchester City four years ago.
Despite Rogers' desire to play in the Champions League, he feels happy at the club, despite Arsenal and Chelsea's interest in signing him.
