A number of Manchester City fans are delighted with news that talks with Aston Villa's Jack Grealish are at an advanced stage.

The Citizens are ramping up their preparations for the 2021/22 campaign as the kick-off edges ever closer. Last season, Pep Guardiola's side won the Premier League and Carabao Cup but missed out on the Champions League after losing to Chelsea in the final - they will duly be hoping to go one better next year.

City have not spent money on any incomings so far this summer, but they have been heavily linked with moves for both Harry Kane and £58.5m-valued Grealish (Transfermarkt). It has now been reported by The Athletic journalist Sam Lee that negotiations in regards to the latter are 'at an advanced stage'.

The 25-year-old excelled for Aston Villa last season, with seven goals and 12 assists in all competitions, and also made his mark at Euro 2020 during England's run to the final.

The news was shared on Twitter by @City_Xtra and it attracted the attention and excitement of numerous Man City supporters. These fans took to the social media platform to share their thoughts on the development.
