Aston Villa aren’t too eager to let go of their skipper midway through the season. The valuation of Jack Grealish is set at 100 million pounds and that’s something that Cityzens and the Red Devils will be wary about. With the current financial situation of football clubs all over the world, the asking price might just be enough to put the pursuers off. With the Sky Blues, however, it is never say die.
The player might be tempted by the prospect of playing for the Sky Blues which is currently one of the best teams in European football. In recent years, though the Cityzens haven’t come close to winning a UEFA Champions League title, they are always considered as one of the title contenders. This season’s UCL will be targeted by Pep Guardiola. As per the Independent, the former Barcelona manager has even discussed Jack Grealish’s play-style with skipper, Kevin de Bruyne. It is believed that both, Pep and Kevin are a fan of Jack Grealish and believe that he is full of quality. It will be interesting to see if Grealish tries to force a move. The Spaniard is of the opinion that Jack is a “highly buyable” player.

The 25-year-old earns about £130,000/week; a sum that can be easily matched by the Sky Blues but the transfer fee is the main issue at hand.
