While the club hasn't officially announced it yet, Jack Grealish has just underwent a medical with Man City after joining the Premier League giants on a record-breaking £100 million deal from Aston Villa. Fabrizio Romano broke the news:
Jack Grealish has signed his contract until June 2026. He’s gonna be announced as new Manchester City player for £100m from Aston Villa. Paperworks signed yesterday evening between the two clubs. 🔵 #MCFC
Pep Guardiola has already spoken directly with Jack. Here-we-go confirmed.

Of course, Twitter has their opinions on the England international joining the Citizens. Most reactions have been positive, but there's others who have doubts that Jack Grealish made the right decision:
If I was Grealish, i'd rather stay at villa then go to city

This user believes Grealish isn't the answer for City, claiming they're trying to be the next Manchester United:

Then, there are others who love the idea of Jack Grealish teaming up with Kevin De Bruyne, forming one of the finest playmaking duos in world football:
Jack Grealish at City is going to be something else 😍

Grealish has became the most expensive England transfer ever, smashing the previous record of £86 million when Paul Pogba joined the Red Devils from Juventus in 2016. Some however, don't believe the former Aston Villa star should've had such a high price tag:

Grealish for 100M? Lmfao. The pressure bout to be immense

The pressure on Jack Grealish will surely be immense. However, he just shone on the biggest stage at Euro 2020, becoming a fan favorite for the Three Lions while supplying two assists in the tournament. Grealish has shown no weaknesses in his game to this point, but joining a club of Man City's stature will definitely be an adjustment for him.
But, the 25-year-old has voiced his desire to win trophies and play Champions League football, which is about to become a reality with the Citizens. Being under the legendary Pep Guardiola should also help Jack Grealish take develop even more.
City meanwhile are still eyeing a move for Tottenham star Harry Kane, who is adamant on leaving North London. If they can somehow strike a deal for the £150 million rated striker as well, it's basically game over for the rest of the Premier League in 2021/22.
