Wow. Didn't realise you had proof we are in for him. Please share...
Some weeks back, Grealish's people let it be known that they thought he would be joining City; that is for sure. It doesn't mean he is going to join but it is not unreasonable to believe that they had some encouragement from the City end of things.
I still don't see who he would replace in the squad this summer as no one seems obviously set to leave. Sterling might if he doesn't agree a new contract. Mahrez has publicly confirmed that he wants to stay; no surprise there as he is all loved up with his Cheshire "Housewife".
Given Pep's love of a midfielder, maybe he won't replace Garcia and will simply change the balance of the squad or maybe Gabby will go and Delap / false 9 will be the back-up to whoever we sign as striker.
