Chelsea are reportedly preparing an ambitious swap bid in their attempt to sign Aston Villa’s talented midfielder, Morgan Rogers, this summer.
According to a claim from TBR Football, Chelsea are willing to include one of three defenders in the deal to tempt Villa into a sale. The players who could be offered are Tosin Adarabioyo, Trevoh Chalobah, or Benoît Badiashile.
Making the potential negotiation even more complex, the report adds that Aston Villa hold their own interest in several Chelsea players. Villa are said to be keen on young midfielder Andrey Santos and striker Nicolas Jackson.
While Chelsea’s primary target is Rogers, the mutual interest in players from both sides suggests a complex, multi-player transaction could be on the cards. The success of any potential deal will depend on the two clubs finding a combination of players and valuations that suits both parties.
