Jack Grealish was among the players to react to Erling Haaland’s latest update on social media, despite ongoing speculation about his future at Manchester City.

Grealish was left out of Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad and has endured a frustrating season, struggling to cement a place in Pep Guardiola’s starting XI.

Following City’s 2-2 draw with Brighton, Grealish shared an update for Man City fans, showing that he may have already switched into holiday mode.

The winger remained an unused substitute against the Seagulls, marking the fifth time in seven Premier League matches that he has failed to come off the bench.

Adding to his difficult campaign, former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Man City are willing to offload Grealish in the summer, as he is no longer seen as a key part of Guardiola’s plans.

Despite the uncertainty over his future, he remained active on social media, reacting to Haaland’s latest post.

Erling Haaland set to lead Manchester City rebuild under Pep Guardiola

The Norwegian striker is currently away on international duty with Norway as they prepare for next week’s World Cup qualifiers.

Haaland shared an update on Instagram, posting: “First camp of the year, let’s go!”

His post drew reactions from several City teammates, including Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, and Grealish.

While Grealish’s future at the club remains uncertain, Haaland’s situation is the complete opposite. The 24-year-old committed his long-term future to City earlier this year by signing a blockbuster nine-and-a-half-year deal.

Despite a poor season for the club, it seems Haaland will remain the spearhead of this City team, especially with the addition of several young signings in the winter window, including Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Victor Reis.

Jack Grealish faces uncertain future at Man City amid exit rumours

A rebuild at City appears inevitable, with Guardiola’s side failing to replicate last season’s dominant form, currently sitting fifth in the Premier League.

Grealish has faced criticism from Man City supporters for his inconsistent performances, and with players like Doku and Savinho stepping up in his absence, his future at the Etihad looks increasingly uncertain.

The England international has made just six Premier League starts this season, raising further doubts about his role in Guardiola’s plans.

With the international break now underway, Grealish has time to reflect on his future, while his teammates—including Haaland—turn their focus to representing their respective countries.
