Manchester City has reportedly signaled to Jack Grealish that he can begin searching for a new club this summer.
The 30-year-old winger, who made headlines with his £100m transfer to the Etihad, spent last season on loan at Everton, where he worked hard to regain his form following a stress fracture that sidelined him.
Despite this injury setback, his contributions on Merseyside have significantly altered discussions regarding his future.
As per Football Insider, Premier League and European clubs are keeping an eye on his status, but Everton currently has the upper hand in potentially securing his signature again.
On the Transfer Insider podcast, football analyst Pete O’Rourke noted, “I’m sure other Premier League teams are watching his situation at City closely.”
“He has reclaimed his best form during his loan at Everton, so a range of clubs will be monitoring his long-term prospects.”
“This interest isn’t limited to the Premier League, as his performances for Everton have caught attention across Europe.”
“It seems likely that Everton is in the best position to sign Grealish should he make a move away from Manchester City.”
“The encouraging news for Everton is that Grealish is keen on returning to the club.”

“He has thoroughly enjoyed his time here, even though unfortunate injuries have cut it short both for him and for Everton.”
“Grealish has been effective with six assists and two goals in 20 Premier League games. He genuinely enjoys working under David Moyes.”
As Grealish enters the final year of his contract at City, his wages—reportedly nearing £500,000 per week—make a permanent transfer complicated.
A renewed loan deal is seen as a more feasible option, particularly if City agrees to subsidize his salary.
Recent reports from TEAMtalk suggest that City has given Grealish the go-ahead to explore his options, with another temporary move appearing to be the most viable choice if no club meets the required financial terms for a transfer.
Jack Grealish announced that his season is officially over after undergoing surgery on a stress fracture in his foot, effectively sidelining him for the remainder of Everton’s campaign.
From his hospital bed, he expressed, “I didn’t want the season to end like this, but that’s football. I’m disappointed. The surgery is complete, and now my focus is on getting fit. I’m confident I will return fitter, stronger, and better than ever. The support I have received since joining this incredible club means everything to me. The staff, my teammates, and especially the fans have been amazing, and I truly love representing this club.”
