Arsenal Target Morgan Rogers with Record £130m Ask, Also Eyeing PSG Winger Barcola

Aston Villa have set a £130 million price tag for England forward Morgan Rogers, a figure that would break the current British transfer record. Rogers, 23, scored 14 goals and provided 12 assists in the 2025‑26 season and is part of England’s World Cup squad. Arsenal are reported to be preparing a bid that could reach €150 million, aiming to secure the player despite his contract running until 2031.

At the same time, Arsenal’s scouting staff have intensified monitoring of Paris Saint‑Germain winger Bradley Barcola. Barcola, 23, is valued at about €70 million on Transfermarkt and has a contract until 2028. Reports suggest he could be a cheaper alternative to Rogers, with Liverpool also tracking him. PSG appear willing to negotiate, especially if a move for Yan Diomande materialises and opens space for Barcola.

The Gunners are also linked with a possible free‑transfer for Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier, but the primary focus remains on bolstering the attack through either Rogers or Barcola ahead of the new season.
