Here, FootballWhispers brings you the biggest headlines of the day…

Jack Grealish set for Everton return?

According to the latest information from the Athletic, Everton and Manchester City are in advanced negotiations to finalise a loan deal for Jack Grealish.

Reports indicate there would be no obligation to buy, and Everton would cover a significant chunk of the 30-year-old's hefty salary. 

Grealish has entered the final year of his £300,000-a-week contract, meaning a loan move to Everton could officially drop the curtain on his time at the Etihad.

Everton boss David Moyes is said to be a big fan of Grealish, given the player enjoyed a decent loan spell at the club last season – a spell which was cut short by a foot fracture.

One factor could block Joshua Zirkzee’s Man Utd exit

Manchester United are hoping to get Joshua Zirkzee off their books this summer, and one club that has shown serious interest in the player are Juventus.

According to the latest reports from Sky Sports in Italy, the transfer depends on whether Jonathan David will complete his move from Juve to Atletico Madrid.

Earlier in the window, Zirkzee turned down the opportunity to go to Fiorentina, with the player setting his sights firmly on a move to Turin.

As things stand, Juventus have proposed a paid loan worth £2m, with a £25m option to buy next summer. United are hoping to push that figure closer towards £30m.

Merseyside battle for Jamie Leweling

The latest information from Sky Germany journalist Patrick Berger, both Liverpool and Everton are hopeful of signing VfB Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling. 

The Bundesliga club are holding out for serious money, having already rejected a bid of over £30m from Serie A heavyweights AS Roma.

Liverpool and Everton are not the other two clubs interested in Leweling, with Inter Milan also showing interest. 

Stuttgart are hoping to get at least £40m for the winger, who scored 11 goals and chipped in with 12 assists during a breakout season last year.
