Grealish trends as Villa exit looms and Man City close in on £100m deal

Jack Grealish’s future has been talked about to death this summer, but the saga may be coming to an end. David Ornstein, Sam Lee and Gregg Evans of The Athletic say the 25-year-old is on the verge of completing a £100m move to Manchester City after weeks of discussions.

It will be a British record transfer fee and may land Grealish an incredible payrise, so the England international is unsurprisingly trending on social media once more. Aston Villa were trying to tie Grealish down to a new contract, but it appears their efforts have failed.

Grealish now has to agree personal terms with City before undergoing a medical. Then his arrival will be officially confirmed by the Sky Blues. It will be their second senior squad signing of the summer after Scott Carson returned from Derby County.

Grealish is one of the best playmakers in Europe and would tick City’s homegrown quota, so he’s worth every penny to them. The 25-year-old had a hand in 18 goals from 26 Premier League games last season, so he’s ruthless in the final third and just want Guardiola wants.
