As the world goes wild with Messi news, Manchester City decided to announce their most recent transfer and even his new number.
In the middle of a Leo Messi earthquake, Manchester City decided to announce their most recent transfer. Jack Grealish is officially a Citizen as he signed a new contract from now until the summer of 2026. But even more shocking than that is the number the club decided to offer the English star. They didn’t hesitate to hand Jack the number ‘10’ jersey, which can possibly give us more clues to where Leo Messi will end up after leaving FC Barcelona.
Grealish comes as one of the most desired players by Pep Guardiola, who always loved his quality and wished for his arrival. If no more players come to the club, the Citizens will still have one of the most competitive football clubs in Europe after Jack’s arrival. The star penned a heartfelt letter to Aston Villa supporters after taking up the offer from Manchester City. Many of his fans were heartbroken for the news but most of them understand what’s happening. Turning down Guardiola as a manager is almost impossible for any footballer.
Grealish speaks his first words as a City player.
As the protocol commands, Jack took a series of pictures with sporting director Txiki Begiristain. He was pictured signing his new contract for the next five years and said his first words as a City player that the club’s website quoted: “I am incredibly happy to have joined Manchester City,” Grealish said. “City are the best team in the country with a manager considered to be the best in the world – it’s a dream come true to be part of this club.
“Over the past 10 seasons, they have won major trophies consistently. Pep coming here has taken them to the next level and the football this team plays is the most exciting in Europe. To play for Pep and learn from him is going to be special and it’s something any top footballer would want. The facilities are amazing, and I honestly can’t wait to get started, meet everyone and get playing.”
