I have continuously very much doubted this assumed 'release clause', official Or gentleman's implied.

But the recent narrative from Villa makes me think there might be something in it maybe.

He has 4 years on his contract. If he had no agreement to leave, it would simply be a case of 'we are not selling, he us our player on a long deal'. Even a 'it would take a crazy offer' maybe. The fact the reported stance seems to be they will tempt him with a new contract, rather than they won't let him go, might just suggest simply keeping him isn't that simple.

Probably not enough to convince me this release agreement exists, but does make me wonder a little bit.

We will probably never know but Villa are acting like there is one.

Think we need to strengthen other positions before Grealish.
We need Haaland Mbappe and a top left back.

Just imo.

Is that both Haaland and Mbappe? I'd take any quality goalscorer at this point.

After that, replace whatever is leaving and I'm good. Personally, I don't see much point in Grealish unless Bernardo or someone else is leaving.
 
How much as the Villa invested around the area? Is there plans to build a better academy or extend the ground or just give it a make over it’s a great old fashion ground but like the scums ground it’s a shit hole! If an owner invests heavily around the ground or look to expand or improve academy are there for the good and long term and not just for a cash cow!

If there was a release clause this would already be done.

Disagree. I think Villa have matched or surpassed our wage offer. I see Ahsan is of the same opinion but like anyone else it’s a guess based on what has gone on so far. Even if we sign him people will guess at the fee and we won’t know what was in there.
 
I see City extra have said we're getting grealish in the next few days. In fact nearly every twitterati I've read has said it's a done deal at some point or other. Every one of them have been wrong so far.

It would actually be more of a scoop if they reported that the deal isn't done
 


Unless they’re actually pushing for top four, this has got to be Grealish’s replacement.

If City arranged a deal with Grealish and Barnett, then made an offer for the release clause and then Grealish and Barnett started discussing a new contract with Villa, City would drop the deal like a sack of bricks. We've already seen that with Fred and Jorginho and Sanchez.

If there was a release clause, it'd be over. Would you like to come here Jack? here's what we'll offer you. Agreeable? good. Here's £85m Villa. Welcome to Manchester City.


With loads of other business to be done, ingoing and outgoing, the club wouldn't piss about delaying activating a release clause.
