'Legend' - Jack Grealish left buzzing after taking photo with Brazil icon Kaka during Man City pre-season tour

After playing their first two pre-season friendly matches in North Carolina and New York respectively, the reigning Premier League champions have now moved to Orlando, Florida where they are scheduled to take on Barcelona on Tuesday. Ahead of facing the Catalan giants, City star Grealish caught up with Brazil and Real Madrid legend Kaka after a training session as the winger clicked a photograph and shared it on social media.

The England international took to Instagram where he uploaded his photo with Kaka as a story and wrote in the caption, "What a legend. What a player @kaka."

Grealish endured a difficult 2023-24 campaign for the Cityzens as he managed to score just three goals and provided as many assists in 36 appearances across all competitions. His poor form led to Gareth Southgate dropping him from the 26-member England squad that finished runners-up in the recently concluded Euro 2024. The 28-year-old, however, is using the national team snub to motivate himself to elevate his performance in the upcoming 2024/25 season.

After facing Hansi Flick's side, Pep Guardiola's men will play their final friendly in the U.S. against Chelsea on August 3 before they return to England and take on Manchester United in the Community Shield on August 10.
