      Sasha, who has been with the City star since they were at school, then took the £80,000 motor to be filled up.
      Incidentally, it appears to be the same car Grealish crashed in 2020, just revamped and coloured.
      The England international, 27, will be looking to carry on where he left off in his last match, scoring against Wolves.
      It was his first goal of the season and came after the playmaker vowed to live up to his British-record £100MILLION price tag.

      Grealish said: “The attackers are the ones the manager rotates a lot.
      “Not everyone is going to play every game as we have so much talent.
      “When you get that chance you have to grab it with both hands and that is what I will try and do.
      “Last year I was settling in — but I want to start performing the way that got me the move here.

      “I did at times last season, just maybe not consistently enough.”
      City come into the Manchester derby one point behind shock league leaders Arsenal.
      Whereas United are currently fifth, only five points behind the Premier League champions.

      In the summer transfer window, Real added the likes of Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni to Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
      But the next two summers could be even bigger with Real hoping to weaken one of their main threats in Europe, Man City.
      According to AS, Real want to reignite their interest in Haaland, 22, who has scored 14 goals in 11 games played for the Premier League champions this season.
      Haaland has a £161million release clause which is valid for the summer of 2024, the date set by Real to start the transfer operation.

      The forward held talks with Real before his move to City, but opted against signing on at the Bernabeu as he did not want to compete with Karim Benzema.
      The report also claims Real would like to sign full-back Joao Cancelo.
      The 29-year-old has a contract at the Etihad until the summer of 2027.
      However, it is believed he could be picked up for a fee between £36-£45m next summer.

      Ancelotti knows the player well from when he was managing in the Prem at Everton.
      Ferland Mendy would play in Cancelo’s position.
      But the Frenchman’s future at Real is in doubt, despite being contracted until 2025.
      Mendy’s requests are above what Real are willing to pay, and so any renewal has been put on hold, playing in favour of Cancelo. More

      Alli is also in a new relationship of his own.
      The midfielder is dating model Cindy Kimberly.

      Jude Bellingham available for £83million CASH as Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd scrap for cut-price transfer

      by

      JUDE BELLINGHAM could leave Borussia Dortmund for just £83million next summer – if the entire fee is paid up front.And Manchester City are convinced they will win what is sure to be a battle of the big guns to bring him to England.

      Liverpool have a long-established interest in the Three Lions midfielder, and believed they were favourites.
      Chelsea are also big fans, while Manchester United would love him at Old Trafford, but know they need a top four finish to have any hope.
      There are suggestions Dortmund want over £130m for the teenager, yet sources claim the true price could be nearly £50m less — as long as it is paid in one go.
      City are certainly best-placed to do that, as well as offering the best chance of silverware – and the opportunity to link up with his old Dortmund team-mate Erling Haaland.

      Bellingham, 19, is big pals with Haaland, and the Norwegian has told him how much he is enjoying life at his new club.
      When City signed Kalvin Phillips in the summer, there was a feeling his arrival meant they wouldn’t be in the running for the England youngster.
      But they have remained in the hunt for another top-level midfielder – and Pep Guardiola rates him so highly he believes Bellingham could eventually fill Kevin De Bruyne’s boots.
      De Bruyne is in his thirties, Ilkay Gundogan in the final ten months of his City contract, and Bernardo Silva’s long-term future is far from assured.

      Bellingham still has three years on his contract which, unlike Haaland’s, does not contain a release clause.
      But he is one of the hottest properties in Europe – on Friday he was the shining light in England’s dismal display in losing to Italy – and the top dogs are circling.
      City have a decent relationship with Dortmund, having recently signed centre-back Manuel Akanji from the club, as well as Haaland and Gundogan.
      The Germans asked about signing Etihad youngster Liam Delap on loan in the last window, before he joined Stoke for the season, and he could be another bargaining chip. More

      The Blues have a reputation for bringing young players through and putting them into their first team.
      Reece James, Mason Mount, Trevoh Chalobah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Conor Gallagher have all come through Chelsea’s youth set-up.

      Skriniar has long been on the radar of Chelsea and despite opting for Wesley Fofana they could be in the market again for a defender if Graham Potter wishes.
      Spurs have also shown an interest in Skriniar too as he has worked under boss Antonio Conte at Inter.
      Paris Saint-Germain wanted him too but the Italian giants rejected approaches from them in the summer.

      But Ferdinand has explained why this came to be, with the former United captain revealing Tevez refused to sign a new contract after he felt the club disrespected him.
      He told William Hill: “Tevez wanted to sign a contract for Man United well before that.
      “(But) Man United delayed and didn’t come to him and he thought… and said ‘you know what you disrespected me and no matter what you offer me I’m not signing.’
      “And I remember the then chairman David Gill asking me to ring him and to speak to him and his agent and tell him the club want to sign you.

      “His agent said to me: ‘Rio it doesn’t matter what money they offer he won’t sign, he feels he’s been disrespected and that’s it.'”
      Tevez spent two successful years at United on loan from West Ham between 2007 and 2009, scoring 34 goals and contributing 13 assists as he helped win two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
      However, he then did what many perceived to be the ultimate betrayal and joined City, with the infamous ‘Welcome to Manchester’ being whipped up for his arrival in the blue half of the city.
      The Argentine was in the team which won the club’s first-ever title in 2012, and in his time at City he scored 73 goals and 35 assists in his 148 appearances.
