Since the end of the 2020/21 Premier League season, Manchester City had only one arrival: a 35-year old goalkeeper Scott Carson. Things are about to change soon, since the Citizens submitted a 15 billion Ksh offer for Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish. The England midfielder has been a subject of a great speculation even before the EURO 2020 ended, but so far, nothing has been official.BREAKING: Manchester City have made a £100,000,000 bid for Jack Grealish.

So far, both clubs are saying nothing, as they obviously try to avoid further media fuss, but although City basically met Villa’s evaluation, the Birmingham based club won’t give up without a fight. Aston Villa surely won’t reply to the transfer offer immediately, since they have their own agenda: extend Grealish at all costs. It is well known fact that Jack has a ‘soft spot’ for his boyhood club, and for some time he is torn apart between a big money transfer and staying in Villa.It’s renewal time: Emerson, Stones, Foden in line for a pay riseSo the club has a plan: to offer Grealish a new, renewed contract, with a wage of 30 million Ksh per week, just to add a bit of cash to support his love for the club. He is currently on a 20 million per week, and City would easily double the money. So it all points to a non-money factor: stay with a boyhood club (who is also very active at the transfer market) or join a top English club and cement your place in the English squad for years to come?Grealish is currently on extended holiday after EURO 2020 participation, and is due to raport to Villa Park on Monday, where he will be introduced with a new offer from the club first. According to Manchester based media, City are prepared to go beyond 30 billion, if necessary. The move, if completed, would eclipse the British record of 13.5 billion Ksh that Manchester United paid Juventus for the return of Paul Pogba to Old Trafford.
