According to Goal, Manchester City are ready to smash the English Premier League’s transfer record for the services of Aston Villa star Jack Grealish this summer.

Jack Grealish stamped his name as one of the most exciting attackers in the league last season. The Englishman bagged six goals and 10 assists to help Aston Villa secure an 11th-placed finish.

Grealish's stellar season has caught the eye of top clubs in the league, including Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.

However, it has been claimed Manchester City are ready to smash the Premier League’s transfer record in a bid to lure the 25-year-old to the Etihad this summer.

Goal suggests Pep Guardiola’s side are lining up a hefty £100m bid for Grealish, which would surpass the record £83.1 million fee Manchester United paid to acquire Paul Pogba from Juventus back in 2016.

Pep Guardiola is believed to be a firm admirer of the Aston Villa forward, who is currently with the England national team at the ongoing Euro 2020.
