Jack Grealish has revealed that his £100million price-tag has helped ease the pressure on Erling Haaland.
Grealish, who became the most expensive player in British football when Manchester City broke the bank to prise him away from Aston Villa last summer, has already been talking to new £51million striker Haaland about the challenges of playing for the champions. And he admitted that the Norwegian told him he was totally relaxed - because he came to City for half the price.
Grealish said: “Erling actually said to me ‘I’m only half the price of you so I haven’t got the pressure!’ Obviously there’s always going to be big expectations, but nowadays you have to deal with it.
