It is a real earthquake that shakes the Premier League. If observers remained incredulous in the face of a rather sluggish start to the transfer window in England, they can brush aside their doubts with the back of the hand. Because the great Manchester City defending champion has decided to strike hard. Eager to catch Harry Kane in their nets, City were also eyeing another England international: Jack Grealish.
Author of six goals in twenty-six appearances in the Premier League under the colors of Aston Villa, the British winger wanted to take a new step in his career to become essential in the selection. For several weeks, the Skyblues have been courting the main protagonist. At the same time, Villa, his training club, launched negotiations to offer him a contract extension.

Aware that the Manchester City opportunity may never come again, the elegant English player has decided to take up the challenge offered by the English champion.

Indeed, Jack Grealish thus becomes the most expensive player in the history of the Premier League. A status that the main protagonist will therefore have to assume. “Manchester City are pleased to announce the signing of Jack Grealish for a six-year contract”, explained the English club in its press release. By completing the arrival of Grealish, Manchester City can boast of having an incredible offensive armada …
HE’S HERE!
