The 30-year-old England international, still the most expensive English player in history after his €117.5 million move from Aston Villa to Manchester City in 2021, spent last season on loan at Everton, recording 2 goals and 6 assists in 22 appearances before a foot fracture in February cut his campaign short. City value him at around £50 million, while Everton are pushing for another season-long loan, and a sensational return to Villa Park has also been discussed.

New City boss Enzo Maresca had offered the winger a lifeline at the Etihad, but the player seems set on guaranteed playing time. It's worth noting that during his time with the Citizens, Grealish made 157 appearances in all competitions, winning three Premier League titles, the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup.
