Former Boyzone star Ronan Keating has responded to Jack Grealish’s emotional message to Aston Villa fans on Instagram following his transfer to Manchester City.
What’s the story?
City announced on their official website last night that they have signed Grealish from Premier League rivals Villa.
The Athletic have claimed that the Premier League champions have paid £100 million to the Villans for the 25-year-old attacking midfielder.
Jack Grealish’s message
Grealish is a Villa fan, and it must have been hard for the England international to leave his boyhood club.
The Euro 2020 star for England has posted the following message on Instagram to the Villa fans.
Reaction
Irish pop star Keating has responded to Grealish’s message on Instagram, as you can see below.
The former Boyzone band member has wished the attacker, who played for the Republic of Ireland Under-17, Under-18 and Under-21 sides, the best of luck at his new club.
Succeeding at Manchester City
Villa are a massive club, but they are not going to win the Premier League title or challenge for the top four on a consistent basis anytime soon.
City won the Premier League title last season and also reached the Champions League final.
Leaving Villa for City now is a step-up for Grealish, who will hope to take his game to another level under manager Pep Guardiola.
