The 28-year-old England star then seems concerned after having the private conversation and quickly heads down the stadium’s tunnel.
The Sun revealed last night that Grealish’s terrified family hit panic buttons as a gang of burglars looted his new home.
Around ten members of Grealish’s family had gathered round the TV to watch Grealish help City put Everton to the sword.
The Sun understands that some of Jack’s closest family were at his 24-acre Cheshire bolthole including fiancée Sasha Attwood, his parents, gran, two sisters and brother.
But when Jack’s dogs began barking frantically and his relatives heard noises upstairs, they instantly hit panic buttons to alert cops.
Despite extensive security and perimeter fencing around Jack’s home, the crooks got in and fled with £1million of watches and jewellery.
Cops responded to a call at 9.50pm before shaken residents saw five police patrol cars at 10pm.
A police helicopter scoured the area overhead with locals warned to stay indoors, before the gang were confirmed to have fled.
And Jack’s “terrified” loved ones were said to have been “fearing a hostage situation”.
A source exclusively told The Sun: “The family are really shaken. The gang took a lot of watches and jewellery.
“Initially, they feared they could be facing a hostage situation or worse.”
The source added: “They executed their raid when Manchester City were playing live on TV and all of his family had gathered downstairs to cheer him on.
“No one was injured but there was a lot of panic – everyone was terrified as they were all so vulnerable.
“It’s an enormous property, so it is understandable why no-one heard anything at first.
“It was also the first time the family had visited, and so they were unfamiliar with the property.
“When the dogs went mad, and they could hear people creeping about, they pressed the security panic alarm.
“An emergency crack unit responded immediately, with multiple police cars and a chopper deployed.”
It is the latest raid to target multi million Premier League stars with West Ham skipper Kurt Zouma’s property in Essex targeted shortly before Christmas.
