Aston Villa recently announced that John McGinn has signed a new contract with the Midlands club, and Fabrizio Romano, writing in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, has confirmed that Morgan Rogers is next on their list after Matty Cash, too.
The Villans confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that McGinn had put pen to paper over a new contract which would keep him at the club until 2028. The Scottish midfielder was attracting interest in the summer transfer window, but Unai Emery's side managed to keep hold of him, and they've rewarded him for his impressive performances with a new deal.
With the transfer windows closed, Villa are clearly focusing on extending the deals of some of their key stars. GIVEMESPORT sources also confirmed that Villa had also reached an agreement with Cash over a new contract, which was officially announced at the end of October.
Fabrizio Romano: Morgan Rogers Next New Aston Villa Contract

Writing in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, Romano has confirmed that Aston Villa are talking to Rogers over a potential new contract, and he could be the next player to put pen to paper after Cash and McGinn. There is nothing advanced or close just yet, but initial talks have taken place for the England international...
"They're talking to Morgan Rogers, nothing advancing or close yet but initial talks as he's next on the list after McGinn and Cash."
Rogers' form has taken a slight dip this season, but Villa's form overall has picked up over the last few weeks. Rogers has also shown signs of improvement, and his displays last term have earned him plenty of credit in the bank.
As mentioned, Villa are heavily focusing on extending the stays of some of their key players, while transfer business has taken a back seat. The extensions of Cash and McGinn are a big boost to the Midlands club, and if they can tie down Rogers to a new contract, that will be a real statement of intent.
GIVEMESPORT sources recently confirmed that Aston Villa believe that Rogers should be earning a similar wage to some of their biggest earners at the club, considering his performances in recent years. Rogers did sign a new six-year deal last year, but Emery's side clearly want to reward him financially.
