Morgan Rogers could be on his way out of Aston Villa this summer, with several Premier League rivals reportedly circling the England international.
The attacking midfielder only penned a fresh six-year contract with Villa earlier this season, but speculation suggests he's now considering his options. Rogers is said to be eager to join a side that regularly competes for silverware, according to The Sun.
Villa have made remarkable strides under Unai Emery, reaching the Champions League quarter-finals last season and are well-placed to return to the competition either via the league or by winning the Europa League.
While Rogers remains an integral figure, indications are that Villa wouldn't block his departure if their valuation is satisfied. Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are among those believed to be monitoring the situation.
Exit agreement
There is reportedly a mutual understanding between the player and club that this summer could present the ideal opportunity to go their separate ways.

Villa have been navigating financial fair play constraints, meaning offloading their most prized asset for in excess of £100million would provide significant fiscal relief. Securing Champions League qualification would be a financial boost but wouldn't guarantee that Rogers remains at the club. Failure to reach the Champions League would almost certainly result in his departure.
Relationship truth
Despite his pivotal role, his exit could proceed smoothly thanks to his excellent rapport with both Emery and the club's senior management, adds The Sun.
It's understood they wouldn't block his move if an appropriate bid were to arrive. Villa would likely demand in excess of £80m for Rogers. Indeed, a transfer could potentially surpass the £100m they secured from Manchester City for Jack Grealish.

Liverpool hint
Such a price tag would fall within Liverpool's budget. There's little question the Reds will be looking to invest heavily this summer following such a disappointing title defence and with Mohamed Salah on his way out of the club.
Rogers has already demonstrated his admiration for another Anfield icon after selecting Virgil van Dijk in his dream five-a-side team. Speaking to the BBC earlier this season, Rogers praised the Dutchman's "aura" and added: "Just being there, I think the feeling of him just scares people."
The remaining members of his team were Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, Yaya Toure and Cristiano Ronaldo.
