The Grealish deal breaks the previous transfer fee record held by French midfielder Paul Pogba, who rejoined Manchester United for £93.25m from Juventus in 2016
Writing to his fans on Twitter, he said:"I'll always be a Villa fan - I love this club with all my heart and I hope you understand my reasons for seeking a new challenge."
Meanwhile, City's director of football Txiki Begiristain hailed Grealish's abilities, saying:"His natural talent, together with his commitment to improve as a player, has seen him become one of the most exciting attacking players in world football today."Villa are expected to formalise their interest in Norwich City attacking midfielder Todd Cantwell once Grealish's move to City is finalised.
