Jack Grealish has failed to break into Pep Guardiola’s best XI, and is now reportedly being offered as an asset in a swap deal.
Manchester City are reportedly prepared to offer Jack Grealish as well as a hefty transfer fee to Milan for in-demand forward Rafael Leao.

Chelsea have already reportedly seen a £62m (€70m) offer for Lea rejected by Milan, who have apparently said they will wait for someone to meet his £133m (€150m) release clause, although a new report suggests , that City could be ready. to move to Portugal.
While it remains to be seen what price Milan would be willing to part with their young star, City reportedly feel they have an ace up their sleeve in negotiations due to their willingness to send a replacement player as part of their offer.
