Manchester City will look to re-sign 22-year-old Aston Villa playmaker Morgan Rogers in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Morgan Rogers is the subject of interest from Manchester City. The Premier League champions are combing the market for a creative attacker heading into the summer transfer window. So, the Aston Villa playmaker has emerged as a target, although it will take a “mammoth offer” for City to re-sign him.

Morgan Rogers and his skyrocketing stock

Morgan Rogers has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Premier League since joining Aston Villa from Middlesbrough in a deal worth £15 million in February 2024. The Englishman hit the ground running at the West Midlands club and has come leaps and bounds in the last 12 months.

The 22-year-old has been exceptional thus far in the 2024/25 campaign, contributing to 24 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions. Rogers has found the back of the net 13 times and provided 11 assists. The youngster’s exploits have helped him break into his national squad, making three outings for England.

Meanwhile, Rogers’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the English international, with Manchester City among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.

Will Rogers return to Manchester City this summer?

Manchester City’s interest in Morgan Rogers is understandable. The Premier League champions are scouring the market for a creative midfielder heading into the summer transfer window as they prepare to part ways with Kevin De Bruyne in the summer transfer window. In addition, Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan face an uncertain future at the Etihad.

Manchester City might also part ways with Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes in the summer transfer window. So, Rogers has emerged as a viable target for the Premier League champions, with the Citizens keen on re-signing the 22-year-old Englishman in the coming months.

However, Rogers will not come cheap, as Aston Villa will likely demand a “mammoth offer” to part ways with him in the summer transfer window. So, it will be interesting to see if the English international returns to the Etihad in the coming months amid his links with Manchester City.
