Jack Grealish is expected to complete his £100million move to Manchester City in the next 24 hours.
The Blues will break the British transfer record to land the Aston Villa star, with one report suggesting that Grealish is travelling to Manchester today in order to take his medical and put the finishing touches to the move.
But it could be tomorrow before the deal is announced, with the two clubs now in agreement over the structure of the deal.
City bid £100million last week, knowing that the England player had an agreement with Villa that he could leave if any club hit the nine-figure mark.
Since then, the move has been inevitable, the only question being how much money City would pay up front, but it appears that the detail has now been sorted and with terms agreed with the player, he is preparing to head north.
When it goes through, the deal will be the first time that City have broken the British record since the first day of their takeover by Sheikh Mansour, when they splashed out £32.5million to bring in Robinho from Real Madrid.
And it will only be the second time in history that the Blues have broken the record, the other being when they paid £1.45million for Wolves midfielder Steve Daley in 1979.
Grealish is one of City’s two main transfer targets this summer, and the Blues are understood to be still in the hunt for Harry Kane as they seek to overhaul a squad that is already Premier League champions but fell at the final hurdle in the Champions League last season.
