£27m rising to £30m with a 20% sell on clause. We also have a buy back option upon being back in the premier league so I have been told by a reliable source.

Hahahahhahaha why the fuck would we put a buy back option in there? Maybe a first refusal but that's it.

Surely a bid is more of a symbolic thing, we’ve been in contact for ages and know what they’ll accept

My money is on postering from them, to make it look like they put up a fight, no way we’ve been talking for months and then randomly put a bid we know they won’t accept in at 23:00 on two days before deadline

I was thinking. He has a fantastic season and they get promoted and suddenly he’s back at Villa.

That's a shitty arse deal for us. Doubt it's true though.

I would be absolutlely astonished if Levy included a buy back clause for Villa. Even if it was £50m or more.

He will want control of the player's future career, not the chance that if Grealish flourishes into a regular England international under Poch Villa can just trigger some clause and buy him back.

I called bullshit at 'sell on clause'.

20% sell on and a buy back clause in a contract and Levy accepted it? ...

Christ, one look on Villa Talk you would think we’re bidding £10m.

Comparing it to the Richarlson transfer and how much Chelsea are bidding for a young keeper.

I know he’s come through the ranks there but the transfers they are comparing are for players that are playing at the top of there respective divisions and with clubs that genuinely don’t need to sell.

They should be comparing it to the James Maddison transfer, both similar players and ages. He was sold at the beginning of the window for £25m and arguably had a better season, plus Norwich didn’t get themselves into a stupid financial situation by, what I would class as, trying to cheat their way back to the big time. They gambled massively and it did not pay off.

I would say the offer is fair tbh and I think Villa will as well.

I doubt there is a buy back clause, but even if there was, Jack woudl still have to accept terms with Villa to go back.

Villa don't just trigger a clause and then get to kidnap him and take him back to Birmingham ffs

This isn't itk but levy would never give another club a buyback option on a player unless we were the one selling.
