Bayern Munich have reportedly identified one of Aston Villa's star attackers as a potential transfer target ahead of the summer window.
Having seen their Bundesliga dominance come to an end last season, Bayern are well on course to reclaiming the top-flight crown this time around.
Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern sit six points clear at the top of the standings and have scored 83 goals from 29 games, 20 more than any other team.
Nevertheless, with the club trailing Inter Milan in their Champions League quarter-final and Thomas Muller due to depart the Allianz Arena, further strengthening of the attack could occur.
According to Fichajes, consideration is being given to making a major push to sign Villa star Morgan Rogers.
Rogers attracting European interest?
The report suggests that Bayern are preparing to make a bid in the region of €70m (£60m) to tempt Villa into a sale.
Rogers has developed into one of Unai Emery's most trusted players, making 42 starts in the Premier League and Champions League during 2024-25.
A total of 12 goals and nine assists have come from a range of positions in the final third, with the 22-year-old also progressing into an England international.
Holding a contract in the West Midlands until 2030, Rogers appears committed to Villa in the long term, yet a transfer elsewhere cannot be ruled out.
What is dilemma facing Villa?
If reports are to believed, Villa will end up paying no more than £15m to Middlesbrough for Rogers should all of his add-ons be activated.
Despite his obvious importance to Emery and the way in which Villa play, there could be the opportunity to quadruple their previous outlay on Rogers.
Although Villa have already benefited from the recent big-money sale of Jhon Duran, they remain under pressure to remain on the right side of the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability regulations.
The money generated for Duran could get eaten up by Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford being signed from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United on permanent deals potentially totalling in the region of £55m.
Furthermore, it remains to be seen what Rogers's stance would be. For the first time in his career, he is settled at one club and flourishing, and he may not want to leave Villa for new surroundings in a World Cup year. body check tags ::
