Manchester City cannot trigger buy-back option for Morgan Rogers
Summary

Manchester City is unable to re-sign midfielder Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa due to the absence of a buy-back clause. Rogers, who moved to Aston Villa from Middlesbrough after City sold him in 2023, has become a notable player in England. His outstanding performance, including scoring 14 goals and providing 12 assists last season, has drawn attention from several elite clubs. Despite City's interest as the summer transfer window approaches, any transfer will require agreement from Aston Villa, who are under no pressure to sell, holding Rogers under contract until 2031.
