Manchester City to "register interest" in signing midfielder, club to demand £100m

Manchester City are reportedly set to register their interest in Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish. Head coach Pep Guardiola have identified the England international as a top target in the midfield position for next summer, with the Catalan coach speaking to Kevin De Bruyne about Grealish's ability. According to an exclusive report from the Mirror, Aston Villa are 'braced' for approaches from both Manchester City and rivals Manchester United in the January transfer window. Given the current financial climate, and the reported £100 million valuation of the player, a successful move or bid in the upcoming window seems far beyond the realms of possibility - and the report does state that it is ‘very unlikely’ Aston Villa will sell their captain in January. However, the Mirror suggest both Manchester clubs intend to ‘register their interest’ in Jack Grealish, and ‘test the water’ in January ahead a looming summer battle for the 25 year-old.
