Jack Grealish is getting closer to a move to Manchester City with reports claiming that the Aston Villa star has agreed to personal terms with the Etihad side.

Football Insider reports that City have tabled a large contract offer for the 25-year-old who has been a standout performer since returning to England's top flight with the Villans.

And while the England international is keen on a move that would see him work under Pep Guardiola, the report claims that the player will not force the move to avoid tarnishing the relationship with the club that he first joined in 2001.

Grealish was rumoured to be close to agreeing on a new contract with Aston Villa recently, but it now looks as though Manchester City's presence could see him wait to see if a deal can be struck between the two sides.

The attacker contributed to 12 goals in 13 starts last season, while also registering three assists when playing centrally.
