Man Utd ready to offer Jack Grealish £150k-a-week to secure incredible summer transfer from Aston Villa
MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to offer Jack Grealish £150,000-a-week to join from Aston Villa.
Old Trafford chiefs have made the Villans midfielder their top summer target and would TRIPLE his current pay packet..
United initially expressed an interest in Grealish in January and are prepared to pay up to £60million to get their man.
But they felt they had more chance of concluding a deal with Sporting Lisbon for Bruno Fernandes - which they did.
Grealish signed a bumper five-year Villa deal in September - taking him to around £50,000 per week.
Rivals Manchester City are also interested in Grealish and are monitoring the situation.
The news will come as a blow to Villa supporters, on the eve of the Carabao Cup final against Man City.
On a personal level, Grealish has enjoyed a fantastic season - despite Villa’s struggles.
He is now being tipped to be part of England manager Gareth Southgate’s next squad ahead of Euro 2020 this summer.
If Grealish lands at Old Trafford, his arrival would likely signal the end of Paul Pogba’s time at United.
The Frenchman is wanted by Real Madrid, former club Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, with the Red Devils hoping to land around £150million for him.
After the signing of Fernandes, Grealish is seen as another key block in the rebuilding process at Old Trafford.
But former Villa star Gabby Agbonlahor is of the belief Grealish is too good for United.
