The Premier League champions are expected to announce the signing of the 25-year-old for a record-breaking fee of £100 million on Thursday, which will make him the most expensive signing in Premier League history, surpassing the £89 million spent by Manchester United on Paul Pogba in 2016.
He is expected to undergo medicals on Thursday to complete the record-deal. Villa did offer Grealish a new and improved contract earlier this summer, despite him signing a five-year deal last September.
Grealish is a Villa academy graduate and has made over 200 appearances for the club, scoring 32 goals.
Grealish, wants to play in the Champions League this season and secure the first trophies of his career. City have won eight trophies across the past four seasons, including the Premier League and Carabao Cup this year.
Grealish is in line to be the first summer addition to Pep Guardiola’s squad. In April it was announced that deals had been reached for the teenage forwards DarÃo Sarmiento and Kayky but Sarmiento has been loaned to Girona and Kayky remains with Fluminense for now.
