Manchester City offer £100 million to buy Grealish
Leaked reports in Sky Sports say that Aston Villa have accepted an offer of £100 million (USD $139 million) from Manchester City for Jack Grealish. They will make an official announcement soon but it is up to Grealish if he wants to stay at Villa or not. If the deal goes ahead Grealish will be the most expensive purchase by an English football club. The previous record was the £93 million Manchester United paid Juventus for Pogba.
If he decides to go to Manchester City he will have to compete with Sterling, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Silva, Rodri, Zinchenko and Gundogan for a midfield position.
I think it will be a big mistake if he goes to a club like Manchester City where he will be up against too many of the squad for a midfield position because he will spend too much time on the bench being used as a substitute. He will become rich beyond his wildest dreams but will he be happy with the game-time?

Wow, this is indeed a huge offer!
Still, IMHO this price is way far more than Grealish value. Yes, he did a great season with Villa, he is a good player but he is "overestimated" without making something huge. I mean he didn't get the EPL title with his performance! That price will definitely change the economical map...
As far as who he will compete to earn a place in the 1st line-up of Man City, I'm sure that by giving $140 million, they count on him to be in the 1st eleven. Besides, the new season will be tougher, stronger, and longer for big clubs.
P.S: I'm also certain that the club will sell someone from the above players that you mention...
