„Premier“ league transfer record broken – Jack Grealish from „Aston Villa“ joins „Manchester City“ for the sum of 100 million pounds sterling. This is the most expensive purchase of all time for both the „cityzens“ and the „Premier“ league. However, there was one transfer deal that was more expensive, when Philippe Coutinho moved from „Liverpool“ to „Barcelona“ for 105 million pounds sterling. From now on, Jack Grealish will be the most expensive British player. The midfielder has signed a contract with „City“ for six years, until 2027. He will wear the number 10 jersey. J. Grealish brought „Aston Villa“ to the „Premier“ league and also had a great season last year in the Premier League with his team. In two seasons, the Englishman scored 14 goals and made 16 assists while playing in the highest tier of English football. Earlier, „City“ coach Pep Guardiola said that it would be impossible to make any signings this summer with such high prices, but the fact is that they have already succeeded. „Aston Villa“ so far this off-season has bought Danny Ings, Leon Bailey and Emiliano Buendía for around 90 million euros, which may mean that for some time now, this club had already accepted Grealish's departure.
HE'S HERE! We are delighted to announce the signing of @JackGrealish on a six-year deal. Welcome to City, Jack! 💙🔷 #ManCity | https://t.co/axa0klD5re pic.twitter.com/5Y3gMREmKL — Manchester City (@ManCity) August 5, 2021
