Manchester City could be looking back at Morgan Rogers, a footballer they let go in 2023 for just over a million euros. Now, just a year later, his price has skyrocketed to around 50 million, and Pep Guardiola is reportedly pushing for the club to reclaim the talented winger, as reported by TeamTalk.

Rogers, 22, is shining brightly at Aston Villa this season. He has already scored 12 goals and provided 11 assists in all competitions, being a key piece in Unai Emery's scheme. His dribbling, ability to link up play, and attacking presence have caught the attention of the Catalan coach, who knows him well from his time at the sky blue club between 2019 and 2023.

He was sold for just over 1 million and now worth 50 million pounds

Although he didn't get opportunities in the first team during his initial spell, Guardiola has been impressed by his progress in Birmingham and believes he could be an ideal addition to freshen up the Citizen's attack, especially with the potential departure of some of their current wingers.

The issue for City will be the cost of the deal. Aston Villa has no intention of easily letting go of one of their most influential players, and there are talks of a figure close to 50 million euros, far from what the Manchester club earned from his sale. Nonetheless, Guardiola thinks the effort is worthwhile to correct what is now seen as a strategic mistake.
