Everton unwilling to pay for Grealish but hope he will stay

Jack Grealish endured a disappointing previous season, which led to his summer move to Everton, where he has become an important figure for the Toffees.

Details: According to The Athletic, Everton are not willing to pay the £50 million clause stipulated in the loan agreement. However, the Toffees still hope that the player will join the team for pre-season preparations.

Everton’s management believe an agreement with Manchester City can still be reached. Negotiations between the parties are set to continue in the near future.

This season, Jack Grealish has made 22 appearances for Everton across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing six assists. The Toffees currently sit eighth in the table with 46 points after 31 matches.

Reminder: Manchester United are on the verge of finalising a deal with Everton for the 26-year-old Senegal international winger.
