Aston Villa are ready to accept Manchester City's £100m offer for Jack Grealish, according to reports.

The Premier League champions submitted a triple-figure bid on Friday as they attempt to prise the England international away from his boyhood club.

Indeed, Sky Sports reports that Villa are likely to accept City's offer - which would break the British transfer record - in the coming days.

The Villans would love to keep hold of the 25-year-old for at least another season, but they will not stand in Grealish's way if he makes it clear that he wants to move on.

Villa have also recognised that a £100m bid meets their own valuation of a player who has been at the club since the age of six.

The ball is now in Grealish's court. He is now back in the Midlands after a post-Euro 2020 break and was expected to return to training on Monday.

But the 25-year-old is ambitious and wants to win silverware, something he is much more likely to do as part of Guardiola's side.
