Aston Villa to sell star man this summer after snubbing Leeds offer
ASTON VILLA will reportedly sell midfielder Jack Grealish this summer as part of a mass player exodus following relegation.
Jack Grealish has made just 17 appearances all season for Aston Villa
The Villa Park club are all set to go down after a disastrous season in which they have won just three games all campaign.
It emerged yesterday that AC Milan are already planning a cut-price bid to sign midfielder Jordan Veretout.
Jordan Ayew, Adama Traore and Idrissa Gueye are also all tipped to leave.
And The Daily Telegraph claim Grealish will quit the club once their Championship status is confirmed, with a top-flight side likely to snap him up.
Grealish, 20, has endured a disappointing season at Villa fraught with controversy.
He was seen partying in a nightclub just hours after Villa had gone down to a 4-0 loss to Everton back in November.
That led to manager Remi Garde dropping the player and banishing him to the Under-21 squad.
He enjoyed a brief return to the first team in January but has not featured under Garde since.
Leeds United wanted to sign the player on loan during the January transfer window.
Elland Road boss Steve Evans claimed they had approached the Premier League club over a switch, only for Villa to reject the offer.

As for Veretout, Milan are understood to be keen on signing the ace after declining a £5.4million proposal from Nantes last summer.
Veretout, 23, is yet to score in 27 appearances for Villa.
