The 29-year-old has been granted permission to find a new team this summer after he was left out of City's Club World Cup squad by Pep Guardiola last month.

The midfielder posed for photos with City supporters at the gig and was filmed telling one fan: 'You know what, bro. I love City more than anything.
'And do you what I love more than anything… City fans. Bro, they're the best fans in the world.'

Jack Grealish at #Oasis, Heaton Park: 'I love City more than anything! And do you know what I love more than anything? City fans! They're the best fans in the world!' 🥹🩵 pic.twitter.com/0ik1CNNWAw — City Xtra (@City_Xtra) July 12, 2025
Grealish, who City signed in a £100 million deal from Aston Villa in 2021, was in the same VIP section as Guardiola, although the pair did not interact.
'Jack and Pep were stood in the same VIP section of the Oasis gig but at complete opposite ends of the stand,' an onlooker told The Mirror.
'Jack was in full spirits, belting every word while Pep seemed to be more family focussed. The pair didn't interact with one another, at least publicly, but they both had a great night.'
Speaking last month, Guardiola told Grealish that he needed to rediscover his love for playing football after starting just seven games in the Premier League last season. More Trending
'He had a conversation between him and the club and they decided it was best [to stay behind],' said Guardiola.
'Jack is an exceptional player. The only reason why he didn't play last season is of course my decisions. We decide that he has to play. The club was honest, he was honest.
'We decide the best is to stay [behind] and have a place that he can feel like he can come back to be the player like he was in the year of the treble or all his career in Aston Villa.
'The fact is in the last two seasons he didn't play much minutes. He has to come back to play and have the butterflies in his stomach that he can play every three days, every three days and show again the quality he has.'

The iconic Britpop band - Noel and Liam Gallagher backed by ex‑mates Bonehead, Gem Archer and Andy Bell - drove the crowd wild in a triumphant reunion show, their first as a band in over 16 years. The reunion tour, Oasis Live '25, began July 4 in Cardiff and includes shows at Heaton Park, Manchester, Wembley, London, Murrayfield, Edinburgh, and Croke Park, Dublin, before heading to North America later in the year. It's the first time the Gallagher brothers have performed together since their split in 2009. Hollywood A-lister Tom Cruise, comedian Ricky Gervais, chart star Lewis Capaldi, and pop sensation Dua Lipa Music producer and DJ Golide were all spotted in the London crowd at Oasis's sold‑out gig on Saturday, July 26, as the band played at Wembley Stadium. Cruise and Goldie were all smiles as they quickly snapped a selfie together. Meanwhile, Lewis Capaldi appeared in high spirits as he made his way to the stadium. Dua Lipa looked cheerful as she shared the huge moment on social media, filming herself in the crowd alongside fiancé Callum Turner. It comes as Tom Cruise recently celebrated as his newest film Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning grossed over 372million worldwide. With an incredible career under his belt, the action legend insists retirement's off the table as he's already cooking up sequels for Top Gun and Days of Thunder. He just finished filming Alejandro González Iñárritu's dark comedy Judy, set to hit screens in late 2026. Meanwhile, in his love life, Cruise was spotted vacationing with actress Ana de Armas in Spain, fuelling dating rumours.

New Liverpool signing's FaceTime with team-mate before agreeing transfer revealed
Ryan Gravenberch is set to link up with Jeremie Frimpong at Anfield this season, and the Liverpool midfielder has lifted the lid on giving the full-back advice on what to expect from Arne Slot's set-up Ryan Gravenberch has explained that he shared a FaceTime call with Jeremie Frimpong before the full-back signed for Liverpool. The pair of Dutchmen have already shared the pitch on occasion for their nation, and will now link up at Anfield with hopes of defending the Reds' Premier League title in 2025/26. But before Frimpong committed his future to Liverpool, he shared a chat about the club with Gravenberch. Speaking about Arne Slot's summer signings thus far, the midfielder said: "Jeremie, obviously I know him for a long time already so I have a really good relationship with him. So I'm really happy that he is here." He added: "We had a little FaceTime [before he signed]. We spoke to each other and he asked me about Liverpool and everything and I gave him really good advice! I am happy that he is here." Gravenberch joined Liverpool in the summer of 2023 in a £34.2million deal with Bayern Munich and quickly became part and parcel of Jurgen Klopp's plans - making 26 appearances in his maiden season. Last season under Slot proved even more fruitful for the 23-year-old, who missed just one Premier League clash for Liverpool, and was instrumental to the club winning the title. Frimpong, meanwhile, was recruited by Slot at the turn of this summer's transfer window, with the manager eager to find a suitable replacement for a departing Trent Alexander-Arnold who joined Real Madrid ahead of the Club World Cup. As a result, his £29.5m release clause with Bayer Leverkusen was activated, and he has enjoyed his time on Merseyside since. However, Frimpong isn't the only high-profile signing that Liverpool have acquired this summer. The club also struck a £40m deal with Bournemouth for left-back Milos Kerkez, before securing the services of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike in a £79m move. Slot's marquee signing, however, comes in the form of Florian Wirtz, smashing the club's record transfer fee in bringing the attacking-midfielder on board from Leverkusen for a staggering £116m last month. And Gravenberch showered the former Bundesliga star with praise as he joined the ranks of Anfield. He said: "I think everyone knows Florian and also here in training he is a really good player: technical, really good vision, so I am really happy that he is here and I can't wait for the season to start also to play with him." It comes Liverpool are currently amid a pre-season tour of Hong Kong and Japan as they ready themselves for their 2025/26 Premier League campaign. The Reds kicked off their preparations for the fresh season with a 3-1 win over Preston North End at Deepdale on July 13, before securing a 5-0 win over Stoke City at the AXA Training Centre a week later. A 4-2 loss to AC Milan then ensued at the Kai Tak Stadium, with Liverpool's next fixture coming in the form of a friendly with Yokohama FC at the Nissan Stadium come Wednesday. Upon their return, Liverpool will play host to Athletic Club at Anfield come August 4, and face Crystal Palace at Wembley for the Community Shield six days later. Their seasonal opener with Bournemouth then takes place come August 15 on home soil. Outlining his goals for the new season, Gravenberch said: "To make it a really nice season again. My aims are like last season, I just want to be there for the team and to show myself again and be as consistent as I can."

Lee says Moore is 'realistic target' for Wrexham AFC
That's the view of former Aston Villa midfielder and now Sky Sports Football League pundit, Lee Hendrie. Phil Parkinson has already broke the club's record transfer deal for a fourth time with the summer signing of New Zealand international Liberato Cacace. Parkinson has also splashed the cash to bring Lewis O'Brien, George Thomason and Ryan Hardie to the club while Josh Windass and Danny Ward have arrived on free transfers. But Wrexham's business isn't finished yet with Sheffield United striker Moore and former Manchester United and Tottenham star Christian Eriksen linked with moves to The Racecourse. Moore helped The Blades to the Championship play-offs last May and Hendrie believes he is a realistic target for the Reds as they plan to make an impact in the second tier. 'Wrexham are a team on the up, and looking to bolster their squad," Hendrie told Football League World. "Moore's wages are estimated to be £25k a week but I don't think that will be an issue for them, I really don't. 'Obviously the fear factor of all this is FFP and all the rest of it, but they'll have clever business people behind the scenes who are looking at this, and I don't think the wages will be a problem at all. "They've been linked with the likes of Jamie Vardy, and potentially paying him big money, and they're a wealthy club that can certainly do that. 'It does catch up with you, but if they want Moore, they'll be pushing to make this happen, and it would be a great signing.'
