Jack Grealish to complete Man City move next week as Aston Villa are losing fight to keep hold of the midfielder.
Manchester City will finalize the signing of Jack Grealish from Aston Villa next week, according to reports.
The Sky Blues are imminent to completing a settlement for the 25-year-old, who has refused to prolong his contract at Villa Park after having his head turned by the chance of playing Champions League football at City.
A deal for the England international is said to be in its ‘advanced stages’, and though it has been proposed that Villa are ready to hand a club-record deal upwards of £150,000-per-week to their captain, the Premier League champions are convinced of completing a deal for Grealish in the coming weeks.
It has been proclaimed recently that City are set to make an opening bid worth £75 million (plus add-ons) for Grealish this week, but Villa have ‘no intention’ to cash in on their star man, unless an offer worth £100 million is presented on the table.
According to Wayne Vevsey of Football Insider, Grealish is edging closer to a move to City, and is anticipated to complete a transfer to Pep Guardiola’s side as soon as he returns from holiday next week.
Furthermore, Villa have losing the struggle to convince their academy graduate to stay put despite offering him a bumper deal, and Grealish is expected to seal a switch to the Etihad Stadium in the coming weeks.
The England international has been granted a longer leave of absence as he recovers after featuring at the European Championships, where Gareth Southgate’s side fell just short in the final as they lost to Italy on penalties.
It has also been declared that the Champions League finalists have offered a huge deal to Grealish, who has four years left on his current deal with his boyhood club.
However, it is worth noting that the Etihad hierarchy are still arranging a lower sum for Grealish, with Villa asking an outrageous amount nearing £100 million for their academy graduate.
The Sky Blues are looking to examine on all fronts again next term, and Grealish has been recognized as a priority signing for Guardiola, who has personally asked City to broker a move for Tottenham forward Harry Kane, who holds that the north London side are in a position to cash in on him this summer.
City are reportedly ready to splash their transfer record to bring Kane and Grealish to the Etihad Stadium this summer, with Guardiola keen to add both players to his ranks as opposed to reports hinting that the Premier League champions will need to prioritise one over the other.
The Manchester side are looking to create funds up to £100 million from sales of fringe players, but could need to authorize the sales of a few senior stars to aid them in their pursuit of the two of the league’s best-attacking players.
