Shock club nobody saw coming ‘begin talks’ to sign Jack Grealish in biggest move of the summer
Jack Grealish faces an uncertain future at Manchester City.
Manchester City star Jack Grealish has been linked with a shock club ahead of the summer transfer window.
Back in the summer of 2021, Grealish left boyhood club Aston Villa to join City for a reported fee of £100 million, which was the most expensive transfer of an English player in history.
Since then, the 29-year-old has struggled to rediscover his best form.
So far, Grealish has only scored 16 goals in 151 appearances for City.
This season, the Englishman only has two goals and five assists in 26 matches across all competitions.
As a result, Grealish has been linked with a move away from City ahead of the summer transfer window.
As reported by Give Me Sport, Premier League side Aston Villa have shown interest in signing Grealish back.
The report stated: “Jack Grealish’s valuation and ongoing role at Man City are being assessed and the club are expecting suitors to knock at the door this summer, with Aston Villa among those most interested parties.
“Villa are being linked with a surprise move this summer, and explorations into that have been interesting.”

It has been suggested villa were interested during the January transfer window but there was ‘never a real chance’ of a deal happening in the winter.
In addition, the report stated that although Villas’ interest in Grealish is genuine, it relies on City’s valuation being more reasonable than it has been over the last 12 months.
Villa have a strict wage structure in place with their star players reportedly earning no more than £200,000 per week.
This could be a problem as it has been claimed that Grealish is currently taking home around £300,000 per week at City.
Aside from villa, Italian Serie A giants AC Milan are also said to be interested in the Englishman.
Villa have so far had a wonderful as they sit 9th in the premier league table with just four points separating them from top 4 still in the champions league quarter finals and also in the FA cup semifinals.
