Morgan Rogers, a former winger for Manchester City, has successfully transferred to Aston Villa on the last day of the transfer window, resulting in financial gain for Manchester City.
The city expended £4 million to acquire Rogers in 2019, subsequent to his transfer from West Bromwich Albion. Nevertheless, the individual from the West Midlands was unable to leave a lasting impression on the senior squad.
Subsequent loan spells at Lincoln City, AFC Bournemouth, and Blackpool ensued before the decision was ultimately made to permanently sever connections with the forward during the summer. Middlesbrough, led by Michael Carrick, made a risky decision to give Rogers a chance, and he has proven himself worthy of the trust placed in him by the former Manchester United player.
City is expected to avoid any dramatic events on the deadline day in January.

Rogers has scored seven goals and provided nine assists in 33 matches for the North East club. Out of his total of seven goals, five were scored during Boro’s journey to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
This acquisition has prompted Villa to quickly secure the services of the winger, resulting in a significant financial gain for City. Upon Rogers’ departure to join Middlesbrough during the summer, the Blues included a 25 percent sell-on clause in the agreement.
Unai Emery’s club has reportedly invested £15m in Rogers, indicating that City is expected to get a sum ranging from £1.75m to £3m. The outcome for City underscores the significance that the Blues place on sell-on provisions.
City permitted the transfer of teenage midfielder Alfie Harrison to Premier League competitors Newcastle United on the day of the deadline. Although the initial sum for the transfer was little, Pep Guardiola’s club will want to profit if the teenager is sold later on.
City have incorporated a 40% sell-on clause in the sale agreement, which will be activated if Harrison is eventually sold.
