Everton to land Jack Grealish?! Toffees willing to pay majority of Man City misfit's £300k p/w wages as Merseyside club close in on exiled winger

According to a report by The Times, the Toffees have not been put off by the Cityzens demands. Everton are prepared to pay the bulk of the 30-year-old's mouthwatering wage, which could result in a loan move worth £12m ($16m). Talks have continued throughout the summer, with Everton looking to establish the parameters to push through a deal.  

David Moyes' men have already strengthened in the attacking third, with Charly Alcaraz making a permanent switch after a successful loan spell last term, and Thierno Barry joining from Villareal. While Grealish is the odd man out in Manchester, he could still provide the Toffees with an attacking x factor in the new term.  

Grealish still holds hopes of breaking into Thomas Tuchel's squad for next summer's World Cup. It would appear the German is a fan of the player, as Grealish was included in Tuchel's first squad as England manager back in November, despite limited playing time for his club.     

If Everton are willing to subsidise the bulk of Grealish's wages, it's hard to see a better move materialising for the former Villa man. It's a mark of Moyes' respect for his talent, as many other sides would likely balk at the finances of such a deal. Either way, most fans of the game would love to see Grealish recapture the form that made him a £100m just four years ago.
