Football Insider revealed Grealish is expected to leave Man City this summer, with significant interest from across the Premier League, Europe, and Saudi Arabia.
With the team’s Club World Cup campaign now over, the England international appeared to have his focus elsewhere, as his future at the Etihad remains up in the air.

It’s shaping up to be a summer of change at the Etihad, with James McAtee also expected to depart in search of more opportunities.
Football Insider revealed on 2 July that McAtee is now planning to leave Man City on a permanent basis after staying with the club in January.
