Pep Guardiola has joked that a deal for Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish would be “too expensive” for Manchester City.
Speaking after City’s 3-0 win over Villa at the weekend, Guardiola revealed he is a huge fan of Grealish, but reckons that Villa would ask for too much him.

Guardiola is obviously a fan of Grealish, but, as he says, a move for him is unlikely for now.
Unless Villa are relegated from the Championship, I doubt many teams can match the asking price for the midfielder.
Villa fans won’t mind if he keeps improving however, with the Villa captain seemingly very much committed to the project.
