Jack Grealish in Loan Talks with Everton Amid City Exit Rumours
So, here’s the latest buzz in the transfer market — and it’s a big one involving Jack Grealish. Everton have officially opened talks with Manchester City over a potential loan move for the England winger. Nothing’s been finalized yet, but the fact that these discussions are even happening has definitely turned some heads.
Now, let’s break it down. Jack Grealish, who was signed by City back in 2021 for a record-breaking £100 million, hasn’t exactly had the easiest time lately. Last season, he made just one Premier League start, and although he was part of the squad, he didn’t play a single minute in the FA Cup final loss to Crystal Palace. To make matters more telling, he was left out completely from the matchday squad on the final day of the season against Fulham. Pep Guardiola tried to downplay that absence, calling it "nothing personal", but it’s clear something's not quite clicking.

With the World Cup coming up next summer, Grealish is understandably desperate for more game time. He’s been working closely with a personal trainer to stay in top condition, hoping to catch the eye of England’s new boss, Thomas Tuchel. But that’s going to be hard if he’s stuck on the bench.
And this is where Everton come in. David Moyes, back at the helm for the Toffees, is said to be a big admirer of Grealish. The plan? A season-long loan deal. But there’s a catch — or several, really. Grealish is reportedly on £300,000 a week, and that salary could be a major stumbling block. Everton are keen, but there's no way they’ll cover the full wage. So, discussions are now focusing on how to split that cost between both clubs.
From City’s side, Pep hasn’t exactly slammed the door shut, but he’s made it clear that the final decision will be up to the club’s sporting director and Grealish’s agents. With players like Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, and Bernardo Silva all ahead in the pecking order, it's hard to see Grealish getting regular starts at the Etihad any time soon.
It’s still early days in the talks, and if a deal does happen, it’ll likely come later in the window. But for now, Everton fans have a very intriguing “what if” scenario to dream about. Imagine Grealish lighting up Goodison Park — it might not be just a fantasy for much longer.
