Jack Grealish on verge of Everton loan move from Manchester City

MANCHESTER CITY HAVE agreed a season-long loan deal with Everton for winger Jack Grealish, the PA news agency understands. Grealish, not included in City's 27-man squad for this summer's Club World Cup in the United States, is expected to undergo a medical with the Merseysiders on Monday. Advertisement The 29-year-old reportedly earns £300,000-per-week (€347,000) having joined City from Aston Villa for a then-record British transfer fee of £100 million €116m in August 2021. Grealish made his last appearance for Pep Guardiola's side as a late substitute in the 3-1 home win against Bournemouth in their penultimate league game last season. He had dropped down the pecking order under Guardiola, making just seven league starts in total last season, and was an unused substitute in the FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace. Everton launch the new campaign at newly-promoted Leeds next Monday before playing their first Premier League game at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium against Brighton on 24 August. The Toffees signed midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea for a fee of around £28m (€32m) last week and Grealish would be the Merseysiders' sixth summer signing following the previous arrivals of Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers and Adam Aznou.
