Football League Transfer News: Latest on Jack Grealish<\/a>, Mitrovic, Collins and Downing<\/h2>\n

Villa Boss Fights Off Interest in Jack Grealish<\/h2>\n

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith has warned clubs that they will need to pay a fortune to purchase Jack Grealish.<\/p>\n

The Villains take on Derby County in the Championship play-off final on Monday; however, it is understood that the midfielder will leave Villa Park if they fail to win at Wembley.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> were interested in the midfielder after Villa’s play-off final disappointment last year but failed to agree a fee, and Smith will not let his captain leave cheaply.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we don’t go up he’ll cost someone a hell of a lot of money if they want to buy him.” said Smith<\/a>. “For me he is committed to Aston Villa and we’ve not even spoken about it otherwise.”<\/p>\n

Fulham Set Price Tag For Mitrovic<\/h2>\n

The London Evening Standard<\/a> reports that Fulham have set a \u00a330 million price-tag for Aleksandar Mitrovic.<\/p>\n

The Serbian is expected to leave the Cottagers following their relegation from the Premier League, with West Ham<\/a> and Crystal Palace<\/a> both interested.<\/p>\n

With a windfall of \u00a330 million, Fulham have identified Dwight Gayle<\/a> and Britt Assombalonga<\/a> as possible replacements.<\/p>\n

Manchester United Move Likely For Collins<\/h2>\n

Stoke City’s chances of retaining defender Nathan Collins appear to have taken a blow.<\/p>\n

The Potters are determined to retain the teenager despite top-flight interest. However, the Stoke Sentinel<\/a> claim that Darren Fletcher<\/a>‘s imminent appointment as a transfer advisor at United means bad news for Stoke.<\/p>\n

It is reported that Fletcher was a big fan of Collins after keeping tabs on his rise towards the first team this term.<\/p>\n
