Aston Villa offer Grealish shirt swaps after record-breaking £100m Man City move

The Villans have announced they will accept returns of any new season strip with their ex-captain's name in exchange for a fresh top after his switch

Aston Villa have announced that they will offer shirt swaps for fans who have purchased their 2021-22 season strip with Jack Grealish's name and number on the back, following confirmation of his record-breaking move to Manchester City.

The former Villans skipper swapped the Midlands for the Premier League champions in a £100 million ($139m) move to the Etihad Stadium on Thursday, signing a six-year deal.

Though Villa had hoped to stave off any potential bids with a hefty nine-figure release clause, they have now seen their captain leave and have told supporters that they will be able to trade in their tops for a new one if they so choose.
