Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are very close to finalizing the transfer of Jack Grealish from Aston Villa, for a record amount of 100 million pounds. The agreement can be formalized in time for the match that the "citizens" will play against Leicester City, valid for the Community Shield.
The 25-year-old's transfer will set a new record in the Premier League market. The record for the most expensive move in the English championship is currently held by the transfer of Paul Pogba to Manchester United, for the figure of 89 million pounds in 2016.
Talks about Grealish seem to be moving much more clearly than those about Harry Kane, Pep Guardiola's next target. It is learned that the Englishman is not finding common ground with Tottenham boss Daniel Levy, for his departure from the Spurs. According to reports, it is the second day that Kane has not appeared in training with the team, expressing his dissatisfaction for not reaching an agreement.
City remain very optimistic about Kane's transfer, however, the club have categorically said no to the milionë 160million that was suggested by Tottenham at the start of the summer. New Spurs coach Nuno Espirito Santo has not yet commented on the situation, since his first press conference when he joined the club. Then, the Portuguese stated that Kane was part of his plans for the future.
The player's contract expires in 2024, after Kane signed for another 6 years in 2018. The Englishman has scored a total of 221 goals for Tottenham, and is ranked as the second best goal scorer in the history of the club, after Jimmy Greaves, who has scored 266 goals.
Kane's fate still remains in doubt, but tensions between him and Tottenham only increase, and in these circumstances, his stay in London seems very difficult.
