According to Give Me Sport, Chelsea will establish contact with the West Midlands club regarding the highly rated attacking midfielder.
Rogers has been outstanding for Aston Villa this season, and the 22-year-old has all the tools to develop into a top-class player.
He has 14 goals to his name this season, and he has picked up 13 assists along the way as well. The midfielder is reportedly valued at £90 million, and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea are ready to break the bank for him.
They need more creativity in the final third, and Rogers would be a quality long-term addition. He could share the creative and goal-scoring burden with Cole Palmer.
The opportunity to join Chelsea will be quite exciting for him, especially if they secure Champions League qualification. Chelsea have done well this season, and they are well placed to finish in the top four.
On the other hand, Aston Villa are trying for European qualification as well, but securing Champions League football for the next season could prove to be difficult for them.
It remains to be seen whether Unai Emery is ready to sell the talented young attacking midfielder in the summer. He has been a key player for them, and his departure will weaken the squad. Aston Villa will be hoping to fight for trophies consistently, and they cannot afford to sell their best players to direct rivals.
Meanwhile, convincing the player to join the club should not be difficult for Chelsea. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they will be an attractive destination.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Aston Villa will want to do everything in their power to keep him at the club for as long as possible.
Rogers needs to choose his next destination carefully. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and he must seek game time assurances from Chelsea before joining the club.
