What next for Man City star Grealish after Everton spell?
What next for Man City star Grealish after Everton spell? Everton signed Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City after a torrid few years for the Englishman under Pep Guardiola. The move was a win-win for all parties.
Everton got the playmaker they needed, and he received playing time, while the Citizens got some relief from his massive wages. Grealish’s move to Everton proved to be a masterstroke. He delivered vintage performances for the Toffees, especially in his early days.
The 30-year-old was rediscovering his previous levels with consistent playing time. Grealish had registered two goals and provided six assists in 22 appearances for the Merseyside club. Unfortunately, he suffered a foot stress fracture in January, and it required surgery, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
Everton will not be keen on signing him permanently this summer, leaving the Manchester City ace at a crossroads. Grealish is entering the final year of his contract, which expires in 2027 , and needs to find a new stomping ground. Grealish will struggle to get a look in at Man City with the competition for places.
He needs a team where he can play week in, week out. A permanent transfer away makes sense. But not many teams will be lining up with bids for a player who has not played competitive football in months.
