Everton have been linked with a blockbuster transfer for Manchester City forward Jack Grealish.
David Moyes may be able to entice the England international to Bramley-Moore Dock ahead of next season as the Toffees start a new era under The Friedkin Group (TFG).
Grealish has been linked with a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but it would come as a shock if the Blues end up pulling it off.
The 29-year-old is attracting interest from elsewhere, which could potentially affect the Merseyside outfit’s arguably slim chances.
Everton monitor Grealish situation as Napoli transfer fancied
Grealish may fancy a move to Napoli from Man City this summer, Alex Crook says.
The talkSPORT journalist has revealed that the Toffees are paying close attention to the Englishman’s situation at the Etihad Stadium, but Moyes could possibly be in for a heartbreak.

Crook feels the 29-year-old forward would want to move to Italy in the coming weeks after dropping down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola.
Speaking on talkSPORT (16 June), the journalist said: “But I think Grealish quite fancies that move [to Napoli]. Yes, there’s Premier League interest from the likes of Everton paying close attention to Gralish’s situation, but I think he would be up for a move to Italy.”
Grealish to cost significant sum for Moyes despite Man City wanting sale
The Friedkin Group (TFG) could make Grealish their marquee signing this summer, but it will undoubtedly be a costly move.
Even if the Toffees are able to sign the 29-year-old on loan, he earns a significant sum in weekly wages at Man City.
It would make sense for the Sky Blues to prefer the England international’s permanent transfer, but if that doesn’t happen, the Merseyside outfit may fancy their chances towards the end of the transfer window.
Everton arguably know Grealish’s signing is a distant dream, and they should focus on completing realistic signings for now.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future uncertain, the Toffees evidently have a pressing need to sign a new striker in the coming weeks.
With Ashley Young gone and Nathan Patterson’s potential exit on the cards, a new right-back should also be one of the Blues’ priorities this summer.
Jesper Lindstrom and Jack Harrison featured heavily for the Merseyside outfit on the right wing in the current campaign, making the addition of a winger also high on their list.
Grealish can’t be blamed if he wants to move to the Serie A champions, but his situation is still one to keep an eye on.
