What’s the story?
Premier League champions City have signed Grealish from Villa tonight.
The Citizens have reportedly paid the Villans £100 million in transfer fee for the England international attacking midfielder.
Villa CEO Purslow has posted a message explaining the circumstances and background behind Grealish’s move.
It is a clear and transparent message that informs the Villa fans everything about the move.
What does Gary Lineker think?
Former Tottenham and England international striker Lineker has praised Purslow for the way he has explained everything.
The Match of the Day presenter has also sent an emotional message to Grealish.
Understandable decision
Grealish is a very good and creative midfielder who is going to make City better and more potent in attack.
Of course, Villa are a big club and Grealish is a fan, but you do not get such big moves all the time.
Grealish’s decision to leave Villa for City is an understandable one.
