Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker Left Out Of Manchester City Squad For Club World Cup
Jack Grealish's future at Manchester City was plunged into further doubt on Wednesday after the England international was left out of Pep Guardiola's squad for the Club World Cup. Despite City naming just 27 players from a possible 35 for the tournament beginning in the United States on June 14, Grealish was omitted alongside former captain Kyle Walker. All four of the club's new signings this week - Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijani Reijnders and Marcus Bettinelli - are included. Ballon d'Or winner Rodri is also selected after making his comeback from a long-term knee injury just before the end of the Premier League season. Grealish, who remains City's record signing after a £100 million ($135 million) move from Aston Villa in 2021, has fallen down the pecking order over the past two seasons. He made just seven Premier League starts in the 2024/25 campaign and was notably not summoned from the bench as City went down to a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final last month. The 29-year-old still has two years left to run on his City contract and his reported £300,000-a-week ($405,000) wages are a barrier to finding a potential suitor. Guardiola threatened last month he could leave the club if the size of his squad is not cut before the new season begins. Grealish is just one of a number of expected exits, along with Walker. The 35-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan, but the Italian giants have not taken up an option to buy. City begin their Club World Cup campaign against Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia next Wednesday before facing further group games against Al Ain of Abu Dhabi and Juventus.

Jack Grealish's Manchester City Future Uncertain After Club World Cup Snub
Last Updated: Jack Grealish's future at Manchester City is uncertain after being left out of Pep Guardiola's Club World Cup squad. Jack Grealish's future at Manchester City was cast into further doubt on Wednesday after the England international was omitted from Pep Guardiola's Club World Cup squad. Despite City naming only 27 players out of a possible 35 for the tournament commencing in the United States on 14 June, Grealish, along with former captain Kyle Walker, was left out. All four of the club's recent signings – Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijani Reijnders, and Marcus Bettinelli – are included in the squad. Ballon d'Or winner Rodri is also selected, having returned from a long-term knee injury shortly before the end of the Premier League season. Grealish, who remains City's record signing following a £100 million move from Aston Villa in 2021, has seen his playing time decrease over the past two seasons. He made only seven Premier League starts in the 2024/25 campaign and was notably left unused on the bench as City lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final last month. The 29-year-old still has two years remaining on his City contract, and his reported £300,000-a-week wages present a significant obstacle to any potential transfer. Guardiola cautioned last month that departures might be necessary if the squad size is not reduced before the new season begins. Grealish is among several players expected to depart, along with Walker. The 35-year-old spent the latter half of last season on loan at AC Milan, but the Italian club has not exercised their option to buy him. City will begin their Club World Cup campaign against Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia next Wednesday, followed by group matches against Al Ain of Abu Dhabi and Juventus.

Who is Tijjani Reijnders, Manchester City's latest signing?
Manchester City capped a $150 million transfer spree ahead of the Club World Cup by signing Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan on Wednesday. Reijnders, 26, joined for an initial fee of €55 million ($63 million) and is the second midfielder — after France playmaker Rayan Cherki — to arrive during the special June 1–10 transfer window, created to let Club World Cup teams reshape their squads. City also signed Algeria left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri from Wolverhampton for $42 million and paid Lyon $41 million for Cherki. Having opted against pursuing Germany playmaker Florian Wirtz — reportedly close to joining Liverpool — City ended up spending roughly the same amount across three players. This latest splurge follows a $200 million outlay in the winter window, taking City's 2025 spending to over $350 million as the club reloads under Pep Guardiola in its bid to reclaim the Premier League title from Liverpool. Reijnders was recently named Serie A's best midfielder after a breakout season in which he scored 15 goals and registered five assists across competitions for a struggling Milan side that missed out on European qualification. He had joined Milan from AZ Alkmaar in 2023 for about €20 million and recently signed a new contract through 2030 — the same term he's signed with City. City is also preparing to part ways with Kevin De Bruyne, ending his decade-long spell at the club. Reijnders and Cherki are expected to link up with Rodri in a refreshed midfield. Reijnders said he was 'ecstatic' to join City: 'It's a dream come true to play in the Premier League. Many top Dutch players have starred here, and it's inspiring to follow in their footsteps.' Director of football Hugo Viana said Reijnders, known for his ball-carrying ability, would bring 'extra energy, composure and creativity' to the midfield. City announced the transfer a day after the special window closed but reportedly completed the deal in time for Reijnders to feature in the expanded 32-team Club World Cup, which starts Saturday. City is grouped with Juventus, Al Ain, and Wydad Casablanca, and opens its campaign on June 18. Related Topics Manchester City
