Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Aston Villa attacker Jack Grealish has agreed personal terms with the club ahead of a potential move to the Etihad Stadium this summer.
The Aston Villa skipper is one of the players Manchester City is considering buying this summer as they aim to defend the Premier League title and also impress again in Europe next season.
The 25-year-old, who only signed a new five-year deal with the club in September, has aspirations of playing in the Champions League and it is thought he is keen to step up to the next level sooner rather than later.
Reports over the course of the past month have suggested that the Villa midfielder has been attracting significant levels following his impressive season and is poised to move to the Etihad Stadium.
Recent reports have stated that the premier league club value their talisman at £100 million, however, some around the club believe that a bid in the range of £90 million could be accepted.
Aston Villa continue to stand firm on a £100 million valuation of their prized asset, and there is also an understanding in various quarters that they would be willing to discuss fresh contract talks with the player in order to keep him away from the grasps of the Premier League champions.
According to Football Insider, the Aston Villa captain has been offered a lucrative contract by the Premier League champions, and the attacker has now reached an agreement over personal terms.
The report claims that the 25-year-old is not prepared to force a move away from Villa, but Man City are hopeful of agreeing a transfer fee in the region of £90m.
The Aston Villa man scored six goals and laid on 12 assists last season, which won him inclusion in the England squad for Euro 2020. He featured in five games during the tournament, starting once and registering two assists as England lost in the final on penalties to Italy.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters, who took to the social media platform to share their thoughts and opinions.

If City secure both Kane and Grealish, along with Mendes etc.. That will of been a great bit of business. I personally would of preferred Haaland, but it doesn’t look like anybody is securing his signature this window.#mcfc
