According to the Daily Mail, Jack Grealish is excited about a potential move from Aston Villa to Manchester City.
The report claims that Pep Guardiola admires the 3-cap England international, and his City side are leading the race to sign him.
The Daily Mail – who say Grealish is rated at £100 million – believe that the 25-year-old is excited about working with a multi-talented squad such as City’s.
Grealish has even lavished Kevin De Bruyne in praise previously, so we know he admires at least one of Guardiola’s stars.
The Daily Mail add that Villa – obviously – don’t want to lose their captain.
However, they would understand if their No.10 wanted to play at a higher level, and would not stand in his way if a suitable offer arrived.
This news will concern Manchester United, who made enquiries for Grealish back in the summer as the Daily Mail state.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side won’t want to miss out on the midfield maestro, especially to their arch rivals.
In 23 appearances this season, Grealish has scored seven goals and registered 12 assists, in what is the best campaign of his career to date.
If City did manage to sign him, Guardiola’s starting XI would be unbelievable – a side containing both Grealish and De Bruyne is fantasy stuff.
