According to Caught Offside, Aston Villa ponder a move for Jack Grealish as internal discussions were held to include Morgan Rogers as part of the equation. Manchester City are ready to sell Grealish, with interest mounting for the attacker as a move back to his boyhood club could be an option.
Jack Grealish’s future could end up being a big story in the transfer window this summer. Manchester City have not explicitly suggested a sale as a solution, but it appears both the player and Pep Guardiola are open to the prospect of a departure.
Grealish has plenty of suitors in the market, notably even many from the Premier League. The likes of Newcastle United are keen, while Nottingham Forest and Tottenham are also credited with big interest in the Manchester City misfit.
Grealish’s influence has waned at Manchester City over the last two seasons, as there are question marks about whether he justified his massive £100 million price tag that the club paid many years ago. Manchester City are open to selling him for around £40 million or thereabouts, which will draw the attention of many interested parties.
Saudi sides are also interested, with the report stating should if Grealish makes the move to the Middle East, he could be one of the best-paid players in the world. However, there might be a twist in the tale, as former side and boyhood club Aston Villa are showing some level of interest in re-signing £40m-rated Man City misfit.
Morgan Rogers is one of the most valued assets at Aston Villa, with the prospect of a big sale crossing their minds at some point. Manchester City might be interested in the idea of bringing back their former academy star should a deal become feasible, as Aston Villa could propose a part-exchange deal involving Grealish.
Unai Emery might have no interest in selling Rogers, although the club might view Grealish as someone who could replace the former Middlesbrough man. Hence, the club have held internal discussions to see if the idea of a player-plus-cash deal is feasible at all. However, there are considerable doubts whether it will happen, as the Birmingham side may have no interest or capacity to re-sign Grealish.
