Jack Grealish, English winger, 30 years old, will not travel with Manchester City on the preseason tour, increasing the likelihood of his departure during this summer transfer window. The club is seeking a new destination for the English international, with Everton and several Saudi Arabian teams among the interested parties, while the player works separately from the group. The City's transfer market continues, as they are close to finalizing the arrival of Ayyoub Bouaddi.
Grealish's absence from the expedition confirms that Manchester City does not consider him for the start of the season. Although the player is under contract until 2027, the English club is open to negotiating a transfer and considers this summer the right time to resolve his future.
Manchester City Opens Door to Jack Grealish's Exit
The decision to leave Jack Grealish out of the Asian tour is another step in a scenario that has been developing since the end of last season. The English international continues with an individual training plan after recovering from a foot injury he suffered last season while the rest of the squad faces preseason commitments.
Manchester City spent £100 million to sign him from Aston Villa in 2021, but the forward's role has gradually decreased. In the last season, he played on loan at Everton, where he scored 2 goals and 6 assists before a stress fracture ended his season.
Maresca Must Decide as Everton Remains Watchful
The appointment of Maresca to the Manchester City bench raised the possibility of a new assessment of the player. The coach has publicly maintained a positive opinion of the winger, although the club's moves indicate that the priority is still to find an exit during this transfer window.
Everton remains attentive to Grealish's situation after his loan spell last season. Liverpool's team is aware of the player's performance and is considering a new attempt, although the financial conditions will be crucial for the operation to succeed.
In addition to Everton's interest, several clubs in the Saudi Pro League have closely followed the player's progress. The high salary of the English international and Manchester City's desire to prioritize a permanent transfer make the Saudi market one of the alternatives with the highest financial capacity.
Jack Grealish Awaits Resolution of His Future in the Coming Weeks
The next steps depend on the offers that reach Manchester City before the market closes. With Jack Grealish absent from the preseason tour, Maresca is already working without him, and both Everton and Saudi clubs have several weeks to submit a proposal to unlock a deal that currently seems poised to end the Englishman's era at Etihad Stadium.
