Aston Villa have wasted no time responding to the shock departure of Morgan Rogers, with Villa Park thrown into a frenzy as the club reportedly reaches a full agreement to sign Atlético Madrid midfielder Álex Baena. The highly rated Spanish playmaker is set to earn around £175,000 per week, underlining Villa’s ambition to remain among the Premier League’s elite.
Despite the exciting replacement, many supporters have reacted with anger and disappointment over Rogers’ exit. Fans had viewed the England international as a key part of the club’s long-term project, making his departure feel like a painful betrayal. Social media has been flooded with emotional reactions, with some questioning why the club allowed one of its brightest talents to leave.
Villa’s hierarchy will now hope Baena can quickly win over the supporters. Expectations will be enormous as the Spanish star prepares to begin a new chapter and help drive the club’s ambitions forward.
