Manchester City are negotiating with Everton over a possible loan deal for Jack Grealish. The talks, described as ‘complicated,’ are reportedly hindered primarily by Grealish’s substantial wages, which are estimated to be up to \u00a3300,000 per week. Everton, who successfully distanced themselves from relegation threats after reinstating David Moyes as manager last season, appear unlikely to meet these financial demands in full.<\/p>\n
Grealish, who has versatility as a left winger and at the No. 10 position, faces a dearth of regular playing time at City. He featured for only 1,521 minutes in all competitions throughout the 2024\u201325 campaign, roughly the equivalent of 17 full matches. This lack of appearances contributed to his omission from Gareth Southgate\u2019s 26-player squad for Euro 2024 and also led to his exclusion from the Man City squad for the Club World Cup by Pep Guardiola.<\/p>\n
Guardiola has publicly recognized Grealish’s qualities but has challenged him to earn a more central role. Adding to the uncertainty, Grealish has two years left on his six-year contract signed upon his move from Aston Villa and has been linked with possible transfers abroad, including a rumored interest from Serie A champions Napoli\u2014who notably secured Kevin De Bruyne from City earlier this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
