Manchester City are the new favourites to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa this summer, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9375891/Manchester-City-favourites-land-100m-rated-Jack-Grealish-summer.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail.</a> Grealish signed a new five-year contract at Villa Park in the summer, after Manchester United failed in a bid to bring him to Old Trafford. Villa have reportedly placed a £100 million price tag on their captain, meaning City are one of the few clubs who can afford him. They will not stand in Grealish's way if he wants to leave however, and the England international is reportedly keen to play under the management of Pep Guardiola.

The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9371845/Chelsea-Manchester-City-runners-land-Borussia-Dortmund-star-Mahmoud-Dahoud.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a> claims Chelsea and Manchester City are among the top Premier League suitors for Borussia Dortmund midfielder&nbsp;Mahmoud Dahoud, whose long-range Champions League goal against Sevilla last month&nbsp;has rocketed him into a greater role in&nbsp;Edin Terzic's side. The 25-year-old has started four times this month alone in all competitions after riding the bench for most of December and January. Blues boss Thomas Tuchel helped recruit Dahoud to Dortmund in 2017, while Pep Guardiola is also quite familiar with the player from his time managing Bayern Munich.

It was already known that Sergio Aguero's expiring Manchester City contract had captivated Spain's top clubs, but the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9374113/Sergio-Aguero-Chelseas-watchlist-Barcelona-contact-him.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a> reports&nbsp;there's also developing domestic interest in the striker, with Chelsea hopeful Aguero will want to remain in the UK beyond this campaign. Aguero and City have&nbsp;still not held any talks&nbsp;about the future, the Daily Mail says, opening the door to a summer departure. The forward has a long-documented injury history but remains lethal when healthy. As Timo Werner continues his inconsistent first season in the Premier League, Chelsea are perhaps in the mood to add someone with a proven track record in the competition to support their German signing.
