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

29-year-old winger could leave the Etihad after a season with limited starts

Manchester City winger Jack Grealish is open to a move to Everton, as the Premier League champions prepare to reshape their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season. According to I News journalist Mark Douglas, Grealish is among the names likely to leave the club this summer and is already training separately from the main squad.

Sources suggest Everton are waiting to learn the terms Manchester City will propose whether a loan deal or a permanent transfer before making an official approach.

Grealish attracting interest from Everton, West Ham, Tottenham, and Napoli

While Everton appear to be frontrunners in the race for Grealish, several other clubs are monitoring the situation. Premier League sides West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Napoli in Serie A, have all shown interest in the England international.

David Moyes, now back at the helm of Everton, is reportedly a long-time admirer of Grealish and sees him as a key attacking reinforcement for next season.

Everton ready to offer a starring role and competitive financial package

If Grealish agrees to join, Everton are expected to guarantee him a starting role something he lacked last season at Manchester City. The Merseyside club believe they can build a financially viable offer to convince both the player and City’s board.

Despite featuring in 32 matches for Manchester City in all competitions during the 2024/25 campaign, Grealish started only 16 games, registering three goals and five assists. With increased competition for wide positions and City eyeing new signings, a departure now seems likely.
