Grealish Returns to Everton on Season‑Long Loan

Everton completed the deadline‑day deal to plug an immediate attacking need with terms that boost the likelihood Grealish will leave Manchester City when his contract ends next summer.

Overview

  • Both clubs confirmed late on Tuesday that Jack Grealish has rejoined Everton on a season‑long loan after completing a medical.
  • Reports say Everton will cover the bulk of Grealish’s wages, with several outlets citing roughly 90% of his reported £300,000‑a‑week pay though exact terms vary between sources.
  • The move was coordinated with other deadline‑day business, most notably Iliman Ndiaye’s reported £60–65m transfer to Manchester City, leaving Everton short in forward options.
  • Grealish is coming off rehabilitation from a stress fracture in his foot and has said he feels ready to train and play under David Moyes to regain regular minutes.
  • With one year left on his City contract, most outlets interpret the loan as a step toward Grealish’s permanent exit from Manchester City and a signal of City’s squad reshaping.
