Everton are one of the sides interested in signing Manchester City winger Jack Grealish ahead of the summer transfer window, according to a report from TBR Football.
Grealish has played a crucial role under Pep Guardiola in recent years, helping the Manchester club win the treble. Unfortunately, the England international has struggled for game time this season, and was even omitted from the squad on the final day of the season, despite being fit enough to play.
A departure for Grealish now feels inevitable, but City are in a tricky situation due to his contract. The former Aston Villa winger has three years remaining on his deal, and he’s reportedly earning £300,000-a-week at the Etihad Stadium. Many clubs simply won’t be able to afford to pay Grealish that much, and he’s not showing that he’d be value for money based on current form.
Everton Eyeing Move for Jack Grealish
Man City will consider loan move
According to a report from TBR Football, Everton are one of the sides who are considering a move to sign Manchester City winger Grealish in the summer transfer window. Pep Guardiola’s side are open to allowing Grealish to depart on a loan deal in the summer, but his significant wages are a huge problem for potential suitors as it stands.

Considering his disappointing season at City, it will be difficult for a club like Everton to justify paying his wages. There’s no doubt Grealish remains a talented player, and he may just need regular minutes, but it will be a huge risk for the Toffees unless City are willing to pay a large portion of his salary.
If Everton can manage to work out a deal with City for Grealish, described as ‘incredible’ by Theo Walcott, that works in their favour financially, then there’s no doubt he would be a smart addition to their final third options. David Moyes’ side have struggled to create chances and score goals, so they will need to add some more firepower this summer.
