Man City are 'prepared to take a HUGE loss on Jack Grealish' as Napoli 'turn their attention to wantaway winger' and rival star Alejandro Garnacho
Manchester City are ready to take a significant loss on Jack Grealish as they look to cash in on interest from Napoli, according to reports. Pep Guardiola made the brutal decision to leave Grealish out of his 27-man squad for the Club World Cup in the United States this summer. City shelled out £100million for him in 2021 and he still has two years left on a deal which bags him around £300,000 every week before tax. Serie A champions Napoli are interested in signing the winger and, according to The Sun, City would be willing to accept £45million for him. However, one stumbling block to the deal is the fact that the Italian side are also interested in Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, Mail Sport understands. The Argentine winger is set to leave United after being dropped from the starting line-up for the team's Europa League final defeat by Tottenham last month. The Sun claim that Napoli would prefer to sign Grealish this summer however recognise that Garnacho might be a better deal in the long run. A potential deal with City, however, might prove easier given the fact that one star has already made the move from the Etihad to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Napoli completed the signing of Kevin De Bruyne earlier in the week on the back of a decade-long stay in Manchester. Grealish meanwhile, a likeable figure who was an important figure in City's Treble-winning 2022-23 campaign, only made seven Premier League starts last campaign. All four of City's summer signings so far - Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait Nouri and Marcus Bettinelli - are part of the travelling squad for the Club World Cup, but Grealish is not. He is understood to have been left out so he can find a new club to join this summer. England manager Thomas Tuchel has told the winger that he must be playing more to earn a place in his plans, having left him out of his first two squads. After Grealish was left out of City's final Premier League fixture at Fulham, Guardiola said that officials would work with the player and his representatives to find a solution that suited both sides. Meanwhile, Mail Sport revealed last month that Rubem Amorim told Garnacho find a new club in front of his team-mates at United's training ground. There is no lack of interest in Garnacho, but he is unlikely to leave the Red Devils on the cheap with United slapping a £70million price-tag on the 20-year-old. Garnacho is viewed as one of United's sellable assets this summer given his age, while he also still has three years remaining on his contract. Amorim wants a major squad overhaul, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho also in line to follow Garnacho out the exit door.

Cole Palmer sports limited-edition Richard Mille watch worth a staggering £220K as England star jets off with Chelsea to begin the Blues' Club World Cup campaign
Cole Palmer was seen wearing a watch worth an eye-watering £220,000 as the Chelsea star boarded a flight bound for the Club World Cup. Palmer, 23, wore the watch as he gazed out of a plane window in a photo uploaded to the Blues' social media accounts before they took off for the United States. He was sporting a Richard Mille RM 07-04 that is claimed to have been inspired as a nod to Italy's impressive collection of luxury car brands. A green, black, white, and red colour scheme also pays homage to the tricolour of the Italian flag and is made from lightweight titanium. That has seen the watch become a popular piece with professional footballers - with Palmer being the latest to exhibit it. Palmer has been able to shell out for the rare watch thanks to the salary he commands at Stamford Bridge, which sits at a reported £130,000, per Capology. Enzo Maresca's side will face Los Angeles FC in their first match of the tournament on Monday evening, before taking on Brazilian side Flamengo three days later. Their final group sees them play ES Tunis, after which they will hope to have advanced to the knockout stages and the final - which takes place on July 13. Maresca has thrown up some surprises with his squad selection, which has seen highly-rated youngster Kendry Paez fly to the US despite being omitted. The expectation remains that Paez, the 18-year-old Ecuadorian, will leave on loan this summer. He was signed on a pre-agreement at the age of 16 for £17million, and Chelsea's sister club Strasbourg is his likeliest destination. While it is understood Paez's preference would be to be around Chelsea's first team over the next season, the club are considering what is best for his progress. Andrey Santos has been used as an example over how a temporary stay at Strasbourg can benefit beneficial, with the 21-year-old Brazilian among those in their Club World Cup squad in the United States. Chelsea flew to Philadelphia on Friday to begin their prep for FIFA's expanded club competition. New man Liam Delap is expected to .

Man City ready to take huge loss on Jack Grealish with Napoli deciding between him and Man Utd exile Garnacho
NAPOLI have £45million to spend on Jack Grealish or Alejandro Garnacho — but they will not take both. The Italian champs laid down the law to Manchester rivals City and United over deals for their exiled wingers. 4 4 United want £70m for Garnacho but are yet to receive an offer for the 20-year-old Argentina international. However, City will be prepared to accept a fee of around £45m for Grealish, 29, who Pep Guardiola axed from his Club World Cup squad. SunSport understands Napoli would prefer to sign Grealish. But they know Garnacho would be a better investment — as he is nine years younger. Napoli would love to reunite Grealish with City legend Kevin De Bruyne, who signed a two-year deal on Thursday to end a trophy-laden ten years at the Etihad. Grealish, who became England's first £100m player when he signed from Aston Villa in 2021, will be desperate to force his way into Thomas Tuchel's plans for next summer's World Cup. Tottenham and Everton have been linked with a move, while a return to Villa could appeal. However, it is unlikely City would receive a £45m offer from a Premier League club — meaning a loan would be his only option to stay in England. Prem sides would also be unlikely to pay Grealish's £230,000-a-week wages in full. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 4 Guardiola snubbed him in key games at the end of the season, including for the 1-0 FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace. The City boss preferred to hand 19-year-old Claudio Echeverri his debut and leave Grealish on the bench as his side desperately chased a leveller in the closing stages at Wembley. Jack Grealish has gone from eye-catching showman and heartthrob to miserable bench warmer - and I know who's to blame It cost Grealish a place in Tuchel's squad for England's recent 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Andorra and 3-1 friendly defeat to Senegal. Garnacho would prefer to stay in the Premier League but United's £70m price tag has put off suitors. Chelsea backed off after showing interest back in January. The Argentine winger was left out of Ruben Amorim's starting line-up for the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham and only went on as a late substitute. Boss Amorim then told Garnacho to find a new club this summer. Meanwhile, Inter Milan are stepping up their efforts to land United's goal-shy forward Rasmus Hojlund. Inter are interested in taking the 22-year-old to the San Siro on loan next season, with a view to a permanent deal in 2026. United would prefer the cash now as they look to give the manager extra funds to make changes. Former Atalanta forward Hojlund scored just four Prem goals last season — ten in all competitions — and looked short of confidence by the end. Yet his stock remains high in Italy and Inter are looking to take him back to Serie A — although they are reluctant to stump up United's £38m asking price. 4
