Decision on whether deal will happen expected in daysVilla want to hold on to Grealish and have offered new dealManchester City have stepped up their pursuit of Jack Grealish by opening negotiations with Aston Villa. The
England playmaker is a key target for City, along with Tottenham’s Harry Kane, and a decision on whether a deal can be struck is expected within days.
Villa are keen to hold on to Grealish and have offered the 25-year-old a new contract. They intend to stand firm and build their team around him but their resolve will be tested if Grealish tells his boyhood club he wants to leave and City come up with a satisfactory fee. The asking price would likely be at least £100m.
