Grealish faces awkward reunion if Everton complete move for unwanted Man City
Everton are eyeing up a move for Jack Grealish this summer as Manchester City seek to offload their record signing. However, if the Toffees manage to secure his signature, it could lead to an awkward situation that David Moyes will need to monitor closely. Grealish, 29, joined Pep Guardiola's squad in 2021 when City shelled out £100m to Aston Villa for the England international on a six-year deal. However, the midfielder has struggled to live up to expectations and now finds himself surplus to requirements at the Etihad after two lacklustre seasons. The Toffees are keen on bringing Grealish to Goodison Park on loan, but it won't be a cheap endeavour. City are eager to recover most of the star's £300,000-a-week wages, meaning any club interested would have to fork out nearly £12m to secure his services. David Moyes' side have not been perturbed by such a commitment but Everton are content to see how the transfer window unfolds before choosing whether to action a serious bid. Grealish is training with City and could yet stay at the Etihad as the Merseyside outfit mull over whether to act upon their manager's interest. And perhaps there is plenty to consider with the prospect of some tension should Grealish walk through the doors of Finch Farm. In December 2023, Grealish did not get off on the front foot with some of Everton's stars. Things got feisty after a difficult evening up against defender Nathan Patterson. Jack Grealish is drawing interest as he looks to leave Manchester City (Image: Ben Roberts - Danehouse/Getty Images) The pair shared a frosty moment where their interaction threatened to get physical as Patterson refused to shake Grealish's hand before giving him a shove and pointing a finger in his direction. Come full time, the City midfielder even went to air his complaints to referee John Brooks and did not shake hands Michael Keane and James Tarkowski. The former Villa man was fuming and had to be guided towards the tunnel. After struggling to feature for City last season, Grealish was encouraged to find a new club by England boss Thomas Tuchel, if he hopes to earn a place in the German's World Cup squad next summer. Playing time will be crucial for the contender. Tuchel said: "So is he a player who can be available and have an impact in our squad? Yes - 100 per cent. But lately he simply has no rhythm, and he knows that himself. I think Jack gets better and better the more minutes he plays. He has the character to be the glue in a team, it is easy for youngsters to attach to him."

He netted his maiden strike versus the team he scored a record 280 goals for with a clinical finish with his left foot inside 12 minutes. Kane then had the chance to make it 2-0 four minutes later when Spurs new-boys Joao Palhinha - on loan from Bayern to Tottenham - felled Josip Stanisic in the box. But then, remarkably, Kane slipped as he ran up to take the spot-kick and fired into Row Z.
