Tottenham renew interest in signing Jack Grealish, who is expected to leave Manchester City
Tottenham Hotspur have reignited their pursuit of Jack Grealish, with the Manchester City midfielder now considering an exit in search of more playing time.
According to journalist Mick Brown via Football Insider, Spurs have shifted their attention to Grealish after failing to secure a deal for Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White, who had been a top target earlier in the window.
Grealish open to Manchester City exit
The 28-year-old England international endured an inconsistent season under Pep Guardiola, making only 16 starts across all competitions. With fierce competition in City’s attacking ranks and a desire to play more regularly, Grealish is weighing up his options ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Manchester City are undergoing a squad overhaul, and Grealish is reportedly among the names being considered for departure especially after training separately from the main group in preseason.
Tottenham see opportunity in unsettled star
Spurs have long admired Grealish, and the club’s hierarchy now views this summer as a realistic window to strike. After missing out on Gibbs-White, manager Ange Postecoglou is said to be keen on adding a creative attacking profile to his squad, and Grealish fits the bill.
While no official offer has been submitted, internal discussions are ongoing at Tottenham, and a formal approach could come if City signal readiness to negotiate.
Transfer hurdles remain
Despite Tottenham’s interest, any move will likely depend on Manchester City’s stance and the financial demands involved. Grealish is still under contract, and his market value remains high, which may pose a challenge unless City agree to a loan deal or reduced fee.
Clubs like Everton and West Ham have also been linked with the former Aston Villa star, but Spurs would offer a chance to remain in a top-six club and continue fighting in European competitions.
