Jack Grealish is Everton-bound! Toffees strike loan transfer agreement for £100m Man City outcast with medical imminent

The England international found himself falling out of favour at the Etihad Stadium during the 2024-25 campaign. He was left out of Pep Guardiola’s plans for the Club World Cup, signalling that his time in Manchester was coming to an end.

Grealish was restricted to just seven Premier League starts last season, with only one goal being scored in top-flight action. At 29 years of age, a new challenge is being sought that allows a lost spark to be rekindled.

The former Aston Villa star will be staying in the north-west as he heads to Merseyside. Grealish will be working with David Moyes at Everton, with an initial season-long deal being lined up. According to The Athletic, the Toffees will have the option to make the deal permanent next summer for around £50 million ($67m).

Fabrizio Romano has posted on social media: “Jack Grealish to Everton, here we go! Loan deal agreed with Man City and medical booked later today. Grealish said yes to #EFC project and he’s now set to complete his move in next 24 hours.”

Despite enduring a slump of late, Grealish is a proven Premier League performer. The 2026 World Cup will provide added incentive for the talented playmaker as he attempts to secure a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s plans - with 39 caps having been earned for the Three Lions.
