Manchester City are closing in on a move for Aston Villa ace Jack Grealish, according to talkSPORT.

The publication is claiming that the deal is worth £100m, British record transfer. It is also being claimed that the move for the attacking midfielder is ‘as good as done’. The deal is set to be completed after Euro 2020.

Pep Guardiola has been targeting a move for the boyhood Villa fan all summer long. According to France Football, the club would’ve bought the 25-year-old if they sold Bernardo Silva.

Grealish made his first start at Euro 2020 in the win over the Czech Republic. It set up a clash with the old enemy, Germany at Wembley Stadium on Monday next week.

Cesc Fabregas labelled the ace ‘outstanding‘.

Manchester City closing in on title: Grealish move can seal yet more silverware for Guardiola

Manchester City and Guardiola are closing in on yet another Premier League title amid links with a move for Grealish.

Adding the extremely talented Englishman alongside Kevin de Bruyne creates a video-game-like side.

It’s the sort of stuff children dream of when they’re playing the latest FIFA instalment.

The possibilities are endless for the Spanish boss in terms of chopping and changing his starting XI.

Never again will he have to sweat on the fitness of his Belgian magician, knowing full well they have Grealish.

Then there’s the possibility of the duo playing together, something which is sure to frighten opposition defences.

The Belgium international’s wicked right-foot coupled with Grealish’s innate dribbling ability is a scary combination.

City are close to sealing their sixth Premier League title before the season has even started.

The rest of the top-flight will be fearing the worst as the Citizens kick their summer off with a bang.
