FIFA Club World Cup: Jack Grealish dropped, Real Madrid recruit's secret talent
The attention of the football world turns to the FIFA Club World Cup kicking off this weekend, but as stars gear up for the tournament, one forgotten player has been left out. Jack Grealish's future at Manchester City was plunged into further doubt 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 (A$208 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 (A$627,000) 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 Thursday before facing further group games against Al Ain of Abu Dhabi and Juventus. One player available for the Club World Cup is Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was officially unveiled as Real Madrid's new star recruit on Friday. The former Liverpool star left fans stunned as he addressed the media in Spanish, rather than immediately using a translator. For his Real Madrid unveiling, Alexander-Arnold prepared a short speech, which you can watch below. Speaking in Spanish, the 26-year-old said: 'Good afternoon. Thank you to (club president) Florentino Perez and the club for this opportunity. 'This doesn't happen every day, it's a dream come true. 'I'm very happy and proud to be here. I want to show Real Madrid fans how I play. 'I realise that I am signing for Real Madrid and that the demands are high but I am going to give my all for the team and Real Madrid fans. That's not even Duolingo Spanish. Trent has been putting in the hard yards with a tutor! — Carl Anka (@Ankaman616) June 12, 2025 'I want to show those fans how I play, I want to win many titles, I want to be a winner here and enjoy playing alongside the best players in the world. Hala Madrid.' The two-time Premier League winner's speech sparked plenty of reaction online. One fan wrote: 'Wait a minute.. Trent can speak Spanish?? He's so ready.' While a second posted: 'No way he was learning Spanish while he was still a Liverpool player.' Another added: 'He was on Duolingo instead of practising defending .. fairs yo.' Speaking in English later, Alexander-Arnold said he'd been 'waiting a long time' to join Real Madrid, before clarifying that he meant 'a couple of weeks, not years'. Alexander-Arnold could make his Madrid debut on Wednesday in their Club World Cup opener against Al HIlal. He has been named as one of the defenders in their squad for the tournament alongside fellow new arrival Dean Huijsen. What is the FIFA Club World Cup? The tournament will be held at 12 venues across the United States, featuring an expanded format with 32 teams competing to be crowned the official FIFA Club World Champions. Participating teams include some of the world's largest clubs including Chelsea FC, Manchester City, Real Madrid CF, Paris Saint-Germain, FC Bayern München and CR Flamengo. Many of football's biggest stars are expected to feature including Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Cole Palmer and more. The competition gets under way with Inter Miami facing Egyptian club Al Ahly at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday morning Australian time. 'It starts a new era of football, a new era of club football. A little bit like when, in 1930, the first World Cup, right, started,' FIFA president Gianni Infantino told AFP. 'We want to be inclusive. We want to give opportunities to clubs from all over the world,' he said. 'It's really to globalise football, to make it truly, truly global.'
