Aston Villa will make Jack Grealish the highest-paid player at the club with a new contract, but a key clause will leave the door open for a big-money move in the near future.
Villa's new owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens took a hard line stance to keep Grealish at the club despite a £25m bid from Tottenham, and with the transfer window now closed he will remain part of Steve Bruce's squad until January at the earliest.
Grealish's current contract earns him £20,000 a week but the Daily Star claims that Villa are ready to double that with a lucrative new offer as they flex their new-found financial muscle.
