Jack Grealish Manchester City, it’s imminent! The English press announces a close denouement for the transfer of the middle from Aston Villa to the champion of England.
Grealish reported the Aston Villa jackpot
The biggest summer transfer is getting closer by the hour. This Wednesday, many British media, such as the Daily Mail, the Guardian, Sky Sports and The Athletic, announce that Manchester City, Aston Villa and Jack Grealish are finalizing the last details of an XXL operation!
Grealish arrives for 117 M €!
According to the English press, the arrival of the 25-year-old attacking midfielder at the Citizens could even be closed on Wednesday. Indeed, the native of Birmingham is expected in the day in the north of England to sign a five-year contract and finalize a transfer estimated at 117 million euros!
However, Aston Villa has done everything to maintain its neatness. To convince him to stay, the Villans have offered to extend his contract, which expires in June 2025, by offering him a new annual salary of € 11.3m. Very attached to his club, Grealish hesitated. But he finally chose to join the champions of England to take a step forward and evolve at the highest level.
The most expensive player in the Premier League
By signing Manchester City, Grealish will be the most expensive transfer of the summer to England, ahead of the € 85m disbursed by neighbor Manchester United to repatriate winger Jadon Sancho from Dortmund. Grealish will also become the most expensive player in Premier League history ahead of Paul Pogba, recruited by MU for € 105m in 2016.
But this record could fall in the coming weeks as Chelsea are ready to spend € 130m on Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku (read here). And Manchester City could strike even harder by also recruiting Harry Kane. For this, the formation of Josep Guardiola will undoubtedly have to spend nearly € 150 million to crack Tottenham.
