"“There’s still nothing advanced or agreed for Jack Grealish. Manchester City are strongly interested in signing him but NO talks ongoing with Aston Villa, as of today #MCFC #AVFCMan City board considers ‘complicated’ to sign both Grealish and Kane [Spurs refused opening bid].”Source: Fabrizio Romano on Twitter"

It is also understood that the English midfielder’s agents have persuaded the Villans to part ways with the 26-year-old. It remains to be seen if Aston Villa accept the bid that City would make for the 26-year-old but one shouldn’t be surprised if The Lions shoot it down, especially if the bid is not near the £100 million valuation, as imposed by Aston Villa on Jack Grealish.
Grealish is currently representing England at the Euro 2020 alongside Harry Kane, who is also been linked with a move to Manchester City this summer. The Cityzens however, will find it extremely tough to sign the £150 million-rated English striker, with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said to play hardball in the negotiations.
