According to recent reports, Jack Grealish is said to be “excited” about the growing interest from Everton, and is reportedly favoring a move to the Toffees over Newcastle. The Manchester City midfielder has been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium this summer, with several clubs reportedly interested in his signature.
Grealish was left out of City’s 27-man squad for the upcoming Club World Cup, which has intensified rumors surrounding his immediate future. The 29-year-old has two years remaining on his contract and has made just seven Premier League starts last season. Several clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, and former club Aston Villa, have been linked with Grealish, while Everton are monitoring his situation ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
A potential move to Everton would likely take the form of a loan, given the financial constraints imposed by the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations. Despite no formal talks taking place between City and Everton, the noise around a possible move continues to rumble.
According to Football Insider, Grealish has “let it be known to friends that he is open to a move to another Premier League club, and is excited by Everton’s interest.” The publication adds that the glamour of the club’s new stadium and the possibility of a regular starting role is attractive to Grealish, who does not just want to be a squad player at a Champions League club.
Grealish’s potential move to Everton would be a marquee arrival at the new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium. The midfielder played a bit-part role for City last season, and Pep Guardiola has spoken about the possibility of Grealish leaving for pastures new. Guardiola emphasized that Grealish needs to play regularly, and it’s up to the player, his agent, and the club to decide his future.
The development has sparked interest among fans and pundits, with many speculating about the potential implications of Grealish’s move to Everton. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is certain: Grealish’s decision will have significant repercussions for both Manchester City and the club he chooses to join.
