The Fun Factory Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I do not see why the club would have put in a release clause last year. That would be mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have sold him for 100 before he signed the contract. I'm sure they'd have predicted he'd get into the England squad within the year too which would increase his value. I don't expect the shrewd businessmen leading our club to mess up such a huge part of their plan and add a relatively low release clause in the contract of their talisman.

Probably only way jack would agree a new 5 year deal - perfectly understandable on his side and would at least give the club a substantial fee hopefully Edited July 28, 2021 by Eastie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa can of course reject it, but a bid of £90m they might accept if that's City's final offer and Jack wants out could be like the Suarez buyout clause ,that never existed , but was rumoured to be £40m Arsenal basically bid £1 over it to see if it did exist or not ..and found out , that indeed there was no such clause maybe Citeh are doing something similar ?

stewiek2 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I cant for the life remember where I read it or heard it but I'm sure I heard we valued Jack at £130m+ before the euros and that has risen since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His value now is higher than year ago but £100m a year ago would have been more likely I’d think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will stitch us up if they wait until 3 days before the season starts and do it then. So that's what I'd do if I was City. Robinho deal says hi!

theboyangel Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 If it’s close to being completed, I wonder if Grealish will return to training at all… Hopefully we’ll see images of him at bodymoor on Monday when he’s due back along with Mings and Martinez. I’m still in the ‘he’s staying’ camp as I believe we don’t want to sell and we’re improving the squad around Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that Sept article still not confirmation either. Either the release clause is well over 100m like 120m or more or there isn’t one otherwise we’d know about it and City would be activating it. Given all the numbers floating around the release clause won’t be 100m, if there is one at all. I don’t think there is one, we’d know about it rather than just wild speculation. These things aren’t kept secret long and it’s been too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn’t, it pretty much confirms our worst fears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think city would even be bothering trying if there wasn’t one , villa would simply not sell - city must be of the belief he’s gettable and if percy thinks there is a clause I’d tend to trust his judgement .

If he does he may well be in talks with the club on the day he returns - but certainly by this time next week the picture should be clearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
