Jack Grealish open to Everton move as Manchester City consider exit strategy

Jack Grealish has reportedly given the green light for transfer talks with Everton, signaling a potential exit from Manchester City during the current transfer window. The English winger is no longer in Pep Guardiola’s plans and could be loaned out if a permanent deal proves difficult due to his high wages.

Everton in Talks as City Seeks Permanent Exit

Manchester City is preparing for the possible departure of Jack Grealish, with Everton emerging as the front-runner to sign the 29-year-old. While City would prefer a permanent transfer, the club acknowledges that Grealish’s salary demands may limit options, making a loan deal the more realistic outcome.

According to reports from TEAMtalk, echoed by Transfer Feed, Grealish has approved the idea of joining Everton, where he would be offered a chance to revive his career with more consistent playing time.

A Declining Role at the Etihad

Grealish featured in 32 matches last season but managed to score only three goals, falling short of expectations following his big-money move from Aston Villa. With Pep Guardiola reconfiguring his attacking options, the winger has slipped down the pecking order and now faces a likely departure.

Since his arrival in 2021, Grealish has struggled to replicate the form that once made him one of the most electrifying players in the Premier League. His transfer from Aston Villa remains one of the most expensive in English football history.

Other Transfer Developments at Manchester City

Manchester City’s summer shake-up could extend beyond Grealish. The club continues to receive inquiries for multiple players, and Guardiola himself may soon see a long-time target join a rival.

Brazilian forward Rodrygo, currently at Real Madrid, has been linked with a surprise move to Liverpool, potentially ending Guardiola’s long pursuit of the attacker. Meanwhile, Manchester United has taken a more cautious approach this summer after a flurry of signings before the World Cup.
