Aston Villa’s spectacular Man City raid for mega-money star Guardiola has soured on

Jack Grealish from Manchester City would “jump at the chance” to return to Aston Villa,

and multiple publications have explained why a surprise homecoming is conceivable.

When Grealish joined Manchester City in 2021, he brought in a club-record £100 million for Aston Villa.

The defensive winger made a name for himself as a consistent starter the previous season, but he has returned to a supporting role this time around.

For manager Pep Guardiola, Grealish is no longer as important since Jeremy Doku arrived.

In fact, the 28-year-old’s Premier League minutes this season have come to just 1,001.

In his 20 league games, Grealish has managed just three goals and one assist.

Several reports speculate that Grealish may not play for the Etihad in the long run.

HITC was one of the first to make such conjectures,

with the website reporting that officials in the city were becoming more and more alarmed by Grealish’s lack of development.

The implication is that, despite nearly three full years of coaching from Guardiola, Grealish’s game hasn’t improved.

It was said that the winger’s future at City was “in doubt.” In addition,

Football Insider subsequently stated that Manchester City is “willing to listen to offers” for the £100 million player.

A recent update from FI has now gone one step further, speculating that a surprise return to Villa Park might be in the works.

According to them, Villa is “planning a sensational bid” to rehire their academy graduate.

Guardiola is unsure; Villa is improving
Guardiola is still not quite sold on Grealish, according to reports, but Villa would “jump at the chance” to close a trade if City put up a for sale sign.

Grealish gave Villa his finest football performance to date, and FI believe he may swiftly reclaim his legendary position if he returns.

Villa is also benefiting from the fact that they are about to qualify for the Champions League.

However, it is impossible to ignore the very evident problem of paying Grealish’s salaries.

It’s said that Grealish makes £300,000 a week at the Etihad. It is obvious that Villa cannot and will not sacrifice their entire wage structure for a single player,

especially one like Grealish who has a history with the team.

Even so, Grealish’s boyhood team might be the one to take a hefty wage cut if he were to accept it.

Because Grealish has a contract with Manchester City through 2027, Villa would have to pay a large transfer fee.

The article does not specify how much Manchester City expressly appreciates Grealish. However,

FI came to the conclusion that his transfer valuation now will be far less than the £100 million he spent three years ago.
