# Aston Villa: Fans react to Ashley Preece post

**Reliable Aston Villa reporter [Ashley Preece](https://twitter.com/PreeceObserver/status/1415986872950591496) shared his take on the Jack Grealish situation on Friday lunchtime.**

And his update, as expected, had plenty of Villa supporters talking on social media.

Grealish has been heavily [linked](https://twitter.com/SamLee/status/1415929388294606848) with a move to Manchester City this summer, with recent [reports](https://twitter.com/SamLee/status/1415929388294606848) suggesting a double swoop for the 25-year-old and Tottenham’s Harry Kane could cost City between £175-215m.

Preece, Villa’s correspondent for [Birmingham Live](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jack-grealish-villa-man-city-21068435), revealed Villa expect to have clarity on Grealish’s future by the end of the month.

He’s currently having some time off in Greece following the European Championships, and according to [Preece](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jack-grealish-villa-man-city-21068435), even Grealish doesn’t know how his situation will end.

[Birmingham Live](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jack-grealish-villa-man-city-21068435) have been told that the Villa captain is still expected to sign a new deal, but as we know in the transfer window, things can change at any time and Grealish will ultimately be the one to decide where he plays next season.
