Manchester City are discussing Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish at 100m, with the club convinced that an agreement will soon be reached.
The first reports of the move broke on Friday morning, and sources have confirmed for 90 minutes that an agreement has been reached. The email originally broke the story and reported that the deal will end after the player’s involvement in Euro 2020.
Grealish’s performances have seen him attract a lot of fans in recent seasons, with Manchester United and Tottenham both credited with an interest, although Pep Guardiola is also considered a big fan and was keen to make Villa one of his top goals in the season. summer.
The £ 100m deal for Grealish makes the 25-year-old the most expensive signing ever of an English club.
A source close to Manchester City said at 90 minutes: “Talks are ongoing, Aston Villa have accepted the approach from City and the two clubs are talking. Jack Grealish feels he is ready for the move. There is a very good chance that this will be done or at least agreed. about on Monday. “
Villa’s quest for Emile Smith Rowe and James Ward-Prowse along with the conquest of Emi Buendia have suggested that the club’s hierarchy has long agreed with the fact that they were set to lose their talisman this summer, and it now looks like that is the case. .
Although City have postponed £ 100m for Grealish, the report adds that it is unlikely the deal will affect their quest for Tottenham’s forward Kane.

The England captain recently announced his intention to leave Spurs this summer, but Daniel Levy’s valuation of 150 million pounds for the spider has not yet been reached.
While an agreement between City and Spurs has not been reached – with an initial bid of £ 100m quickly rejected – it seems highly unlikely that Guardiola will not get his man given his need for a new midfielder.
With Sergio Aguero’s move to Barcelona confirmed and Gabriel Jesus set to leave the club, City’s strikers are suddenly torn apart and, given their financial muscle, there is a deal to be made if City have really pointed out Kane as their number a goal.
