Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report to yet another update on Jack Grealish‘s potential move to the Etihad.
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 £58.5m-valued (Transfermarkt) 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 in a massive £100million transfer deal.
Aston Villa are prepared to ward off interest from Pep Guardiola’s side by offering their captain a new contract less than a year after they handed him a new deal worth £125,000 a week.
Accroding to Goal, there is ‘more confidence’ at Manchester City that a British record offer of £100 million move for Jack Grealish is likely to happen despite Aston Villa’s move to offer him a new contract.
Grealish, who will be hoping to start for his country against Ukraine in the quarter-final of the European Championship on Tuesday night, has scored 32 goals and registered 43 assists in 213 outings for Villa.
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.

I hate it when they mention £100m on every Grealish news. Let’s wait till we secure this deal with £74m

Grealish will definitely happen imo cause why would Villa go get Buendia and then keep bidding for ESR and their priority is apparently a number 10 but i cant see Kane happening this summer 🙁

City need mainly a striker other positions are still in good shape. They should forget about spending huge sum and promote Academy Players
