117M for Rogers I can't with this anymore

He’s a great player, another player taking a step down to a mid table club!

£117m and is going to an club that isn't playing in Europe this season.

Middlesbrough stand to make a further £20.3m as part of a sell-on clause agreed for Morgan Rogers when they sold him to Aston Villa in January 2024.

Boro sold Rogers for £15.5m and a clause was agreed for 20 per cent of any future profit Villa made on the sale of the winger.

It means Boro have made a total of £35.8m on the sale of Rogers - £34.7m of which is profit.

Newcastle have had a £46m verbal offer for midfielder Lucas Bergvall rejected by Tottenham.

Discussions have taken place between the two clubs about the figures it would take to agree a deal for the 20-year-old.

Newcastle are searching for a midfielder to replace Sandro Tonali, who was sold to Spurs in a club-record £100m deal earlier this month.
