Guardiola Unsure Over Jack Grealish’s Man City Future
The winger heads back from an injury-hit Everton loan with a permanent move in doubt.
Overview
- Pep Guardiola said he does not know if Jack Grealish will stay at Manchester City and added that any return to top form depends on the player.
- Everton are reported to be unlikely to trigger a £50 million option to buy after the loan, though Football Insider carries claims that the club would like to keep him.
- Grealish is recovering from a stress fracture that ended his season at Everton and is aiming to reach full fitness for pre-season.
- The loan yielded two goals and six assists in 20 Premier League games, and he logged more league starts than in his previous two seasons at City.
- Potential summer exits at City, including reported possibilities involving Bernardo Silva or John Stones, could create room for Grealish if he proves his fitness and form.
