Manchester City face a fight to sign £100m-rated Jack Grealish - with Aston Villa determined to keep their captain after opening talks on a new contract.
It is anticipated City will make a concerted attempt to sign Grealish this summer as part of an ambitious transfer plan which includes serious interest in England captain Harry Kane.
Grealish only signed a new five-year deal with Villa in September.
He is currently with England preparing for their last 16 Euro 2020 game against Germany at Wembley on Tuesday, having started his first game of the tournament in last week's 1-0 win over the Czech Republic.
