Former Aston Villa chief exec Keith Wyness believes Morgan Rogers' new deal will include more than one buyout clause.

Rogers signed a new contract with Villa to 2031 last week.

To get this done, there would’ve had to have been some sort of release clause. I think it may be for specific clubs as well,” Wyness told Football Insider.

“These release clauses are becoming quite complex. It used to be quite simple. You’d agree on a number and that was it.

“But now there are all sorts of clauses and specifics that are coming into them, and I think with Rogers, it’ll probably be a list of three or four clubs that he can go to for a certain price.

“Now, what that does for Villa is that it increases his valuation. Villa will get the full price for him, which is important because he’s one of their most important assets, and he’s performing very well for them. I think he could well become a bit of a star after the World Cup.

“So, Villa have done the right thing, but I do think there will be a very detailed release clause. It won’t be an easy one, as I say, and it may be restricted to certain clubs. Overall, I think Villa have done the right thing to get him tied up for as long as they can.

“He’s the right age, a very talented player. I’m told he’s a really good kid as well, his head is screwed on, and he’s got that bit of magic as well.”
