Everton Push for New Grealish Deal With Man City as €50m Option Fades
Everton’s budget constraints make a compromise with Man City the likely path.
Overview
- Everton plan to reopen talks with Manchester City for either another loan or a lower-fee transfer to keep Jack Grealish.
- The €50m buy option in his loan is now viewed as unrealistic for Everton.
- His reported £300,000-a-week wages and Man City’s financial reporting limits under league rules complicate a cut-price sale.
- Grealish is completing rehab from a foot stress fracture at Everton, which has strengthened his bond with staff and fans.
- He delivered two goals and six assists before the injury, reinforcing David Moyes’s push to bring him back next season.
