Aston Villa confident securing Grealish to huge new contract amid Man City interest | OneFootball

Aston Villa are confident securing Jack Grealish to a new contract amid Manchester City interest.

The Daily Mail says Villa are confident about tying down Grealish to a new contract this summer that would take his salary above £150,000-a-week.

The 25-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from Villa Park this summer after a stunning season for Dean Smith's side that earned him a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad for Euro 2020.

City want to break the British transfer record for Grealish this summer and are confident in securing a £100million deal for the midfielder.

But the Telegraph reports Villa are serious about keeping their player and want to extend Grealish's contract by one year and will increase his wage packet to do so.

Grealish has been at Villa since the age of six and has risen through the ranks to surpass 200 first-team appearances for the club and become the club's captain.
