Jack Grealish: What Aston Villa told 'admirers' Arsenal after surprise transfer enquiry
Jack Grealish has previously laid on record just how much he enjoys playing at the Emirates Stadium and the England marvel is widely appreciated at Arsenal, although the Gunners have now conceded that the attacker is well out of their price range. Manchester City are the frontrunners for Grealish this summer and they will potentially have to pay over £100million to sign him from Aston Villa.
The Midlands club are understandably desperate to keep hold of their captain and are preparing to table a new bumper contract offer in a bid to convince him to stay.
That’s exactly what worked for them last summer, when Grealish put pen to paper on a new long-term contract.
Yet before he signed the deal, there was a surprise enquiry from Arsenal.
Sky Sports reported that Villa told the Gunners that they’d have to pay £80million to take Grealish off their hands.
