Jack Grealish (PA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>Manchester City are closing in on a British record $139 million (\u00a3100 million) deal for Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The Premier League champions have been heavily linked with the 25-year-old all summer and reportedly made their offer last Friday.<\/p>\n

Neither club have commented but there are widespread claims that negotiations have progressed and a deal could be concluded in the coming days.<\/p>\n

The current British record fee is the \u00a389 million paid by Manchester United for Paul Pogba in 2016.<\/p>\n

Grealish, who has four years remaining on his Villa contract, has become one of the hottest properties in the English game.<\/p>\n

He scored six goals in the Premier League last season and also provided 10 assists. He made four appearances for England during their run to the final of Euro 2020.<\/p>\n

He is one of two players at the center of considerable transfer speculation involving City this summer, with the other being Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane.<\/p>\n
