Simeone eyes a new signing! Atlético tracking Manchester City’s Englishman
Grealish has once again found himself at the center of transfer speculation.
Details: Atlético Madrid are keeping close tabs on Manchester City winger Jack Grealish and are weighing up a potential move. Diego Simeone sees the Englishman as a strong tactical fit for his squad, but the club has yet to decide whether to make an official offer. This is according to The Sun.

However, Atlético aren’t the only club monitoring the situation. Everton and Aston Villa - two clubs Grealish knows well - are also considering a move for the Englishman. There’s additional interest from teams in Saudi Arabia and MLS, so the winger has no shortage of options. Ultimately, his decision will depend on what he wants from the next chapter of his career.
For now, Atlético are playing the waiting game. The Madrid side are evaluating whether Grealish fits into their financial model and if it’s even worth entering a race with growing competition.
It’s worth noting that Grealish joined Manchester City from Aston Villa in the summer of 2021 for a club-record €117.5 million. The Englishman has made 157 appearances for City, scoring 17 goals and providing 23 assists. Last season, he was on loan at Everton, where he underwent knee surgery.
