Everton open talks with Manchester City over potential loan move for Jack Grealish

Everton has opened talks with Manchester City over a potential move to sign Jack Grealish, Report informs via The Athletic.

The Merseyside club has made an approach to sign the winger on a season-long loan.

The deal is considered complicated and at this stage, there are no guarantees it will materialize, but discussions are happening over the England international.

Grealish, 29, was restricted to just seven Premier League starts during the 2024-25 campaign and was an unused substitute during City’s FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace.

He was omitted from the matchday squad for the final game of the season against Fulham, which Pep Guardiola said was “nothing personal”.

“I’m the person who fought for him to come here and the person who fought for him to stay here this season and the next season,” Guardiola said. “I’m the one who said I want Jack Grealish.

“What happens in the future is a job for Txiki (Begiristain, City’s director of football), Hugo (Viana, the club’s sporting director) and the agents.”

Grealish joined City from Aston Villa in the summer of 2021 for a club record fee of £100 million. The six-year contract he signed upon moving to the club runs through to 2027.
