Morgan Rogers, a former winger for Manchester City, has successfully transferred to Aston Villa on the final day of the transfer window, resulting in financial gain for Manchester City.
The city expended £4 million to acquire Rogers in 2019, subsequent to the winger’s transfer from West Bromwich Albion. Nevertheless, the individual from the West Midlands was unable to leave a significant impact on the senior team.
Subsequent loan spells at Lincoln City, AFC Bournemouth, and Blackpool were undertaken before the decision was ultimately taken to permanently sever connections with the forward during the summer. Middlesbrough, under the leadership of Michael Carrick, made a calculated decision to give Rogers a chance, and he has proven himself worthy of the trust placed in him by the former Manchester United player.
Rogers has scored seven goals and provided nine assists for the North East club in 33 matches. 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 substantial financial gain for City. When Rogers departed 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 sale was little, Pep Guardiola’s club will be aiming to profit if the adolescent is sold at a later date.
City have incorporated a 40% sell-on clause in the sale agreement, which will be activated if Harrison is eventually sold.
