The Citizens have been trailing the player for some time now and they officially opened talks last week offering his £100 million.

Chances are high that Pep Guardiola’s side will sign the player despite that Aston Villa are doing everything possible to keep him.

The Midlands club tabled a huge new contract, reportedly offering their captain a £200,000-a-week deal.

Jack Grealish, who returned to training on Monday, seems set to complete his transfer to Man City ahead of the new season.

Aston Villa had hoped to hold onto their prized asset and build a team around him for the upcoming campaign.

The summer transfer window remains interesting for the English Premier League as it is expected that some of the biggest stars will arrive ahead of the forthcoming season.

Lukaku could return to the Premier League

Manchester United are already chasing lethal striker Erling Haaland while Stamford Bridge side Chelsea are looking to bringing Romelu Lukaku back to London.

Chelsea are doing everything to return Romelu Lukaku back to the Stamford Bridge following the Belgian’s impressive run for Italian club Inter Milan last season, Hard Tackle reports.

The 24-year-old found the back of the net 24 times last season to help his side win the Italia Serie A title.

And now, Premier League club Chelsea who are desperate for a lethal striker are already making frantic moves for Lukaku.

Varane on his way to Manchester United

Legit.ng earlier reported that former Manchester City full-back Danny Mills believes the incoming Manchester United star Raphael Varane will struggle with the physicality of the Premier League.

The Red Devils confirmed they have reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of the Frenchman in a deal valued at around £43 million.

He is expected to undergo medicals before signing the dotted lines after which he will be presented to the fans.
