£100M Grealish bricht britischen Transfer Rekord
August 6, 2021 - May 22, 2022 - Die Premier League Champions Manchester City haben für den England Star Jack Grealish, 25, für die Übernahme von Aston Villa die britische Rekordsumme von £100M auf den Tisch gelegt. Grealish, der bei Aston Villa seit seinem sechsten Lebensjahr war, wird hiermit der neunt-teuerste Spieler aller Zeiten.
The 30th Premier League season kicks off, with fierce rivalries played out over 380 enthralling matches. The world’s most watched football league drew an estimated cumulative global audience of 3.2 billion in 2019.
Jack Grealish becomes the most expensive English Premier League signing, at £100m, surpassing fees paid for: Paul Pogba (Man Utd, £93.25m), Romelu Lukaku (Man Utd, £90m), Harry Maguire (Man Utd, £80m), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool, £75m), Jadon Sancho (Man Utd, £73m) and Nicolas Pepe (Arsenal, £72m).
Brazilian sensation Neymar retains the World Record fee paid, transferring from Barcelona to Paris St. Germain, for £198m, in 2017.
