This is definitely an evening to remember. After Barcelona officially announced that Lionel Messi would not stay at Camp Nou, Manchester City retaliated with an intense “fire”. The job contracted over the weekend has just been made official – Jack Grealish is the new player of the Premier League champions!The first thing that catches your eye is the ’10’ that Grealish received as soon as he joined the Citizens. Does it mean there’s no place at Etihad stadium for Messi? We will see whether it is so or not; there is time for such analyzes.HE’S HERE! We are delighted to announce the signing of @JackGrealish on a six-year deal. Welcome to City, Jack! 💙🔷 #ManCity | https://t.co/axa0klD5re pic.twitter.com/5Y3gMREmKL— Manchester City (@ManCity) August 5, 2021 Now let’s dedicate ourselves to the new hero of this transfer window and the numbers pushing the historical boundaries in the Premier League.As announced in the past few days, KSh15 billion were deposited on Aston Villa’s account, a record sum paid for one English football player and thus a record for the British Isles. The previous one was held by Paul Pogba, moving from Juventus to Manchester United for KSh13,5 billion.Manchester City’s new number 1️⃣0️⃣ pic.twitter.com/b3sQbqnjhb— Photos of Football (@photosofootball) August 5, 2021 And that’s not the end. With this transfer, Pep Guardiola has strengthened himself at the top of the list of managers who have spent the most on signing new players, and Grealish is the most expensive acquisition in his career by far.When we talk about personal conditions, City is quite apologetic. Grealish signed a six-year contract which implies a weekly salary of around KSh30,241,988.##EDITORS_CHOICE##”I have a few difficult months behind me because I have been an Aston Villa fan all my life, but when I saw what was waiting for me here, I couldn’t say no. I’m thrilled,” Grealish said in his first address to the media as a City player.”Trophies are the main reason I came. The manager is also a huge factor. Playing for the best coach in the world is something that is not rejected. I can’t explain how happy I am. Playing with De Bruyne and all the other guys, as well as fighting for trophies, it is the realization of my dream “.Welcome to the team @JackGrealish Time to get to work👏— Kevin De Bruyne (@DeBruyneKev) August 5, 2021 “I’ve been here for 24 hours. The whole club is amazing for my family and me. I feel like I’ve been here a long time. I think I made a good choice. We’re going for all the most important trophies – the EPL title and the Champions League crown first of all,” the most expensive Englishman underlined.
