Manchester City close to £100m British record move for Jack Grealish - sources

Manchester City are close to reaching an agreement with Aston Villa for Jack Grealish, sources have told ESPN.

City are ready to pay around £100 million for the midfielder, which would be a British record if the deal goes through, eclipsing the £89.3m Manchester United paid for Paul Pogba in 2016.

City have so far declined to comment.

Grealish is preparing for England's European Championship round-of-16 clash with Germany and his move to City is expected to progress once his involvement in the tournament is over.
