While Jack Grealish is on loan this season at Everton with an option to buy, Manchester City have already sealed his future for the next transfer window.

No longer in Pep Guardiola's plans, Jack Grealish was loaned this season to Everton with an option to buy estimated at £50m (€58m). A deal that has allowed the English winger to regain playing time and establish himself as a starter. With 22 matches played, 2 goals and 6 assists, the 30-year-old has won everyone over at the Toffees.

Season over for Jack Grealish with Everton

As such, Everton have already positioned themselves for a new loan or a permanent move for Jack Grealish next summer, as the English club do not intend to trigger this option to buy. They have, however, said they are prepared to pay around £21m (€25m) for the Englishman, whose contract with Manchester City expires in June 2027.

In this matter, TeamTalk have revealed that the Sky Blues have already informed their forward that he can start looking for his next club, as a stress fracture in his foot will keep him sidelined until the end of the season. The British outlet reports that a permanent departure is described as “almost impossible.”

Manchester City open to another Grealish loan

A new loan therefore appears the most likely option with the Premier League giants, who would once again pay part of the former Aston Villa man's significant wages. A decision that suits Everton. The Toffees are ready to seize this opportunity again, while Jack Grealish would reportedly be willing to extend his stay on Merseyside.

Everton are therefore in pole position in this matter, but English competition cannot be ruled out. Indeed, the Mancunian's impressive first half of the season has not gone unnoticed and several clubs have already expressed interest in welcoming him on loan next summer, TeamTalk added.
