Chelsea offered £117m for Rogers in an owner-to-owner deal.
Two days later, Aston Villa signed Garnacho from Chelsea on a four-year deal, with an obligation to buy set at £42.67m.
Villa added Nico Jackson today for £47.5m plus £17.5m in add-ons (£65m total).
That puts Villa's net take-home on Morgan Rogers at £9.33m, and that's before factoring in Boro's 20% sell-on clause. Off a £117m fee, that's £23.4m.
All that 'new market rate' nonsense we had to listen to. It's a mates' rate market in 2026; don't believe anything until you see the full shape of the transfer window.
A Coritiba player scored away at Chapecoense in the Brazilian Serie A last night and jumped over the advertising board to celebrate, only to fall down a hole and injure himself… 🫣
After all that, the goal was disallowed too… 😭
63rd game of the season. Neutralized best attack in Europe for 120 minutes, and lost in penalties. Couldn’t be more proud of the boys. Semis, final and we will keep knocking until it’s done.
Keep your head up everyone.
