Everton's ambitious bid to sign Jack Grealish has been handed a major boost, with Manchester City reportedly open to letting the England international leave this summer.
Grealish's Uncertain Future at Man City
The £100m midfielder has struggled to cement a regular starting spot under Pep Guardiola, sparking speculation about his future. With just 14 Premier League starts last season, Grealish may seek more playing time elsewhere.
Everton Emerge as Surprise Contenders
While Aston Villa had been considered favourites to re-sign their former captain, Everton have now emerged as serious contenders. The Toffees' new ownership is keen to make a statement signing, and Grealish fits their profile perfectly.
Financial Considerations
Manchester City may be willing to accept a significant loss on their record signing, with potential offers around £50-60m being discussed. Everton's financial fair play situation remains a hurdle, but creative deal structuring could make the transfer feasible.
What Grealish Would Bring to Everton
- Creativity: Everton desperately need more invention in midfield
- Experience: Premier League and Champions League pedigree
- Commercial appeal: Grealish remains one of England's most marketable players
Should the deal materialise, it would represent one of the most surprising transfers of the summer window and a major coup for Sean Dyche's side.
