Rogers Joins Chelsea in Record £117M Transfer Deal
Rogers will join Chelsea from Aston Villa for a record transfer fee of £117 million, making it the highest amount ever paid for a British player. He is expected to sign a six-year contract with an option for an additional year.
The medical examination is anticipated to take place on Monday. Chelsea's head coach, Xabi Alonso, will be tasked with revitalizing the team after a disappointing 10th place finish in the Premier League, their worst result since the 2015-16 season.
This transfer will surpass the previous record of £107 million paid for Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. Rogers, who is part of the England squad for the 2026 World Cup, contributed significantly to Aston Villa's Europa League success, scoring 31 goals and providing 29 assists in 125 appearances over two years.
