Morgan Rogers is ready to depart Aston Villa
According to The Athletic, Rogers is not actively pushing for a move from Aston Villa. However, he does believe now is the right time to take the next step in his career.
The Europa League winners are keen to keep him for at least another season, but a sale could be necessary in order to comply with financial regulations.
Rogers is contracted to Aston Villa until 2031, but this has not put off Man City, or any other club interested in the 23-year-old.
John Stones expected to start against Croatia
According to Henry Winter, Stones is likely to be in the starting lineup when England take on Croatia in Dallas.
However, the journalist did confirm that he does not know for sure whether the 32-year-old will be involved.
John Stones training at West Palm Beach today. Expected to start v Croatia in Dallas. Poignant moment. Stones trained in Miami before 2014 World Cup, standby player, one cap v Ecuador, his second, and then flew home. 85 appearances later … big player for #ENG pic.twitter.com/nkGkOMKF58

He has suggested it will be the case because Stones is an ‘exceptional’ centre-back, who has an admirer in Tuchel.
Additionally, Stones has been given the number five jersey, which would usually hint at him being among the first-choice defenders.
Man City want another European loan for Claudio Echeverri
According to TyC Sports, River Plate are interested in signing Echeverri on loan, one-and-a-half years after his most recent spell at the club.
City do have plans to send him out on a temporary basis again, but doing business with a European club is preferred.
Echeverri has already shown he can perform well in the Liga Profesional de Fútbol, but he needs to prove he is good enough to make it in the Premier League.
Eli Junior Kroupi wants to join PSG instead of Man City
Unfortunately for the Citizens, Kroupi’s preference is to return to his home country and sign for Champions League winners PSG, according to Santi Aouna.
However, the Ligue 1 team have only just joined the race to secure his services, while other clubs have been involved for months.

❗️Parmi TOUS les clubs intéressés, le PSG est la destination préférée d'Eli Kroupi
➡️ Le dossier reste toutefois complexe pour les parisiens puisque plusieurs cadors européens ont déjà avancé leurs pions depuis plusieurs mois. Paris vient d'arriver.

Therefore, City will not have given up yet in their pursuit of the striker, who Bournemouth are refusing to sell for under £85m.
