Grealish contract a staggering outlay by Manchester City

The contract handed to Grealish is a staggering outlay by Manchester City.

Whilst the player has been in great form with the Villains during their time back in the Premier League, it’s hard to justify such high wages.

His level of performance has been high, but, not consistent enough especially for a midtable club like Aston Villa.
