In the recent interview, the Man City man was asked about whether his £100m release clause was inserted into his Aston Villa contract knowing it would be met this summer - to which he answered: 'Maybe, yeah. That's why we had it put in.'
The reporter from The Birmingham Mail claimed that Grealish had ‘a real smugness and arrogance' to him for admitting this.
The Man City midfielder tweeted: “This is the worst and most one sided article I’ve ever seen.. Classless? Jealous? Couldn’t wait to get out? Arrogance? How exactly?
“I’ve been a Villa fan my whole life and still am. The thing is you don’t understand what goes on in the real football world.”
The Englishman has had a pretty good start to his career at City, scoring 1 goal and registering one assist in 3 Premier League appearances so far.
