Everton ramp up Jack Grealish transfer bid with Man City star ‘keen’ on switch
Jack Grealish faces little future with Manchester City under Pep Guardiola but one of their Premier League rivals could offer the England man an escape route from the Etihad Stadium
Everton have cranked up their efforts to sign Jack Grealish as he aims to revive his career. The Manchester City winger faces little future at the Etihad Stadium having been told to leave by Pep Guardiola.
Grealish was axed from the City squad for the Club World Cup in the USA. With the new season now just a week away, the 29-year-old is yet to find a new club but it appears that Everton could offer him a way out.
According to The Times, David Moyes’ side are upping their attempts to take Grealish to Merseyside. They are keen to sign him on loan and further conversations regarding an agreement have recently taken place.
City are aiming to recoup as much of Grealish’s £300k-per-week wage packet as possible, a demand that Everton are seemingly open to meeting. The winger is also open to a move across the north west.
Speaking about Grealish’s future earlier this summer, Guardiola said: “It was a conversation between him and the club and they decide. Jack is an exceptional player, the only reason why he didn’t play last season is of course my decisions, and we decide that he has to play – and the club was honest, he was honest.
