The new contract signed by Jack Grealish at Aston Villa reportedly contains a release clause that would allow him to leave the club next summer for £45 million.
According to Matt Hughes of the Times, the clause applies to any club and will be of interest to both Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, who are said to have had made approaches to Villa for the attacking midfielder.
Per Hughes, Spurs are said to have made an offer worth £25 million for Grealish in the previous window.
"While [new owner Nassef] Sawiris has a net worth of over £5 billion, according to Forbes, Villa could be forced to sell Grealish next summer if they fail to win promotion to the Premier League," said Hughes.
