Villa are reluctant to let their star man go but if the release clause is triggered, they will have little choice but to start to look for potential replacements. While the exact figure of the release clause is not clear, Villa are believed to want a fee around the region of £100m (KSh 15b) for Grealish. At the moment, City are extremely confident about landing Grealish and reports have it that the club are ready to trigger his release clause. In the Premier League last season, Grealish netted six goals and got 12 assists in a stellar campaign for the Villains, who finished the season in 11th place. He still has four years left on his contract with Aston Villa, a club where he has spent his entire career thus far.
