Jack Grealish urged to force Aston Villa exit amid Manchester City links

Jack Grealish has been urged to seal a big-money move away from Aston Villa this summer as uncertainty surrounding his future grows. Manchester City have been heavily linked with a move for the 25-year-old, as Pep Guardiola is said to be a huge admirer of Grealish. Last month reports claimed that the Cityzens will make a bid for Grealish once the Euros are over and they are fully confident they can sign the Aston Villa skipper. And former Liverpool and England midfielder Danny Murphy has suggested an opportunity to make such a move may not come around again for Grealish, adding that the talented midfielder must be “proactive” should he want to force an exit.

“Jack can do what he likes,” Murphy said on talkSPORT.   “He can knock on the door and say ‘I want to go now and win trophies and play in the Champions League.’   “He is hot property at the moment, he is at the peak of his powers and the problem is, in football, it’s very hard to have a longer-term view as a player.   “Generally you do get advised with a consistent message, is take what you can when you can because you don’t know that in a year you could do your knee, you could have a dip in form, Jack Grealish all of a sudden isn’t worth 90 or 100 million.   “He might not get a Man City opportunity again, so actually, Jack doesn’t need to sit tight if he wants to move, he’s got to be proactive.”
