Jack Grealish axed from Man City squad as Pep Guardiola points star to exit door
Jack Grealish is poised to be omitted from the Manchester City squad that will head to the Club World Cup as his exit edges ever closer this summer following several difficult seasons Jack Grealish is set to be left out of Manchester City 's squad for the Club World Cup as he heads closer to the Etihad exit door. The playmaker has endured a difficult campaign and is heavily linked with a summer move. The £100million signing has struggled to live up to his price tag and is by no means a regular under Pep Guardiola, who is set to deliver another telling blow. City's top stars will head to the USA for FIFA's newly expanded tournament with Grealish likely to be absent. The ex- Aston Villa man is the subject of interest from clubs in the Premier League and overseas with the 29-year-old aware he needs regular minutes if he wants to regain his England spot. City are open to Grealish's exit with loan and permanent moves possible, reports the Telegraph. Guardiola made it clear on the final day of the Premier League season that the club will work with the player and his representatives to find the best solution for all involved as Grealish continues to slip down the pecking order. City have not yet named their Club World Cup squad but the expectation is that Grealish will be a major absentee. Guardiola's side kick off the tournament on June 18 against Moroccan club Wydad AC. The Manchester outfit, after a disappointing and trophyless year, have already begun their summer rebuild and are targeting players would may further limit Grealish's game time. They pushing on with the signings of AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders and Lyon forward Rayan Cherki - and want both men in time to take to the Club World Cup. Grealish played a big part in City's treble success back in 2023, which was by far his most influential campaign, but has only started 17 times across the last two seasons with his impact declining. When quizzed about Grealish's omission from the City squad for the final game of the season Guardiola said: 'Of course, Jack has to play. He's an unbelievable player that has to play football every three days. It didn't happen this season and last season either. He needs to do it, with us or another place. 'It's a question for Jack, his agent and the club. If he stays it will be fine and he will fight like he fought from day one to make a contribution, but not today.' Guardiola also added: 'It's nothing personal with Jack. I'm the person who fought for him to come here and the person who fought for him to stay here this season. I'm the one who said I want Jack Grealish. What happens in the future is a job for Txiki [Begiristain, current director of football), Hugo [Viana, incoming director of football] and the agents.'

Jack Grealish set to be left OUT of Man City's Club World Cup squad as he nears Etihad exit - with forward targeting England World Cup spot after missing out on latest squad
Jack Grealish is set to be left out of Manchester City 's squad for the Club World Cup as his departure looms. City signed now-29-year-old Grealish for £100million in 2021 and he is believed to earn £300,000 a week but he has slipped down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola. He was left out of the squad entirely for City's final Premier League game against Fulham and has only started one league match since Christmas - seven in total last season. The midfielder was told by Guardiola that he could be playing football at 'another place' next season and it appears increasingly likely that his four-year stint in Manchester is drawing to a close. The current transfer window closes on June 10 ahead of the Club World Cup in the United States this summer, but it seems unlikely Grealish will leave before then. An exit is more likely when it opens again on June 16. But the England star is unlikely to play for City again, with the forward not set to be part of the City team at this summer's tournament. The clubs involved in the tournament are required to register an initial squad of between 26 and 35 players, including three goalkeepers. Grealish will not be part of City's party. Grealish has won three Premier League titles, the Champions League and FA Cup at the Etihad but only scored three goals in all competitions last season. Grealish has missed out on the past three England squads and he looks set to move on from City to rejuvenate his career ahead of next year's World Cup. It has reportedly been recognised that Grealish being in the United States for a tournament that could last a month isn't the best was to resolve his future. Guardiola added of Grealish: 'It's nothing personal with Jack. I'm the person who fought for him to come here and the person who fought for him to stay here this season. 'I'm the one who said I want Jack Grealish. What happens in the future is a job for Txiki [Begiristain, current director of football), Hugo [Viana, incoming director of football] and the agents.' England boss Thomas Tuchel, meanwhile, said of his omission from his first camp in charge in March: 'As a headline, I love Jack. I love everything about him. I love his personality, I love his quality. The guy has courage, he can take the heat, he's not afraid of the Bernabeu whistles when he's on the ball, it does not affect him and if it affects him only in the best way. 'So is he a player that should be available and can have an impact in our squad? Yes, 100 per cent. But lately, he simply has no rhythm and he himself, and I agree 100 per cent with this. 'I'm not judging anyone, not at all, but it's just a characteristic of Jack, he gets better with every minute. The more he plays, the better he gets and then he becomes a proper machine.'
