Everton have opened talks with Manchester City over the prospect of signing Jack Grealish.
The Toffees have enquired about a loan deal for the winger, who has been informed that he does not feature in Pep Guardiola’s plans for the upcoming campaign.
Grealish signed for Manchester City in a £100m deal in 2021 and won the Premier League title in each of his first three seasons with the club. The latter of those successes came as part of a historic treble, as the Citizens lifted the FA Cup and Champions League alongside their league success.
However, Grealish fell out of favour last season and started just seven games in the Premier League. The 29-year-old is now looking for increased opportunity as he looks to make Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for next summer’s World Cup.
The Athletic’s David Ornstein has confirmed Everton’s approach but has said a deal is ‘complicated’. Everton hope a desire to remain in the North West can persuade Grealish to move to Merseyside, as David Moyes looks to bolster his creative options.
