Everton closing in on loan deal for Jack Grealish

Everton are pushing forward in negotiations with Manchester City to sign Jack Grealish on loan, with the England international open to making the move to Merseyside, according to Fabrizio Romano via Paul Joyce.

Grealish’s Future at Man City in Doubt

The 29-year-old’s future at the Etihad has been uncertain for months, with Pep Guardiola gradually reducing his role over the last two seasons. His omission from City’s Club World Cup squad earlier this year was a clear signal that he may no longer be central to Guardiola’s plans.

Despite interest from several Premier League clubs, Everton appear to be in pole position to land the versatile attacker. Their need for a left-sided forward intensified after missing out on Malick Fofana, prompting them to accelerate talks with City.

Everton’s Plan for Grealish

The Toffees are seeking a season-long loan, offering Grealish the chance to become a focal point of their attack—something he hasn’t consistently enjoyed since his Aston Villa days. Manager David Moyes believes the England international’s creativity and experience could be key in revitalising Everton’s offensive threat.

Alongside Grealish, Everton are also targeting Southampton youngster Tyler Dibling as part of Moyes’ wider attacking overhaul.

A Chance for Career Revival

For Grealish, a switch to Goodison Park represents a fresh start and the opportunity for regular minutes ahead of the 2026 World Cup in the USA. With consistent game time, he could not only rediscover his form but also put himself back in contention for Gareth Southgate’s England squad.

If talks continue to progress at their current pace, Everton could soon land one of the most high-profile loan signings of the summer.
