Man City plan to accept Jack Grealish offer after source’s reveal – Insider
Man City will listen to offers for Jack Grealish at the end of the season as a result of his lacklustre form in Pep Guardiola’s side.
That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that City are growing impatient waiting for him to step up his displays.
This comes after Brown told Football Insider on 16 December that there is uncertainty about the 29-year-old’s future at the club as new concerns have emerged.
Now, while there is a reluctance from Guardiola to see any players leave mid-way through the season given the team’s injury issues, there is a feeling a deal could be done in the summer.
Grealish has now gone over 365 since his last goal for City, which came last December during a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.
Now, with City struggling for form and having won just one of their last 12 games, frustrations about the winger’s lack of impact in the attacking third have grown stronger.
His current contract at the Etihad is set to run until 2027, but the club are weighing up whether that time could be cut short in the summer of 2025.
Man City to listen to Jack Grealish offers after latest twist
Now, the former scout, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has insisted that City could use the money from his sale to reinvest in improving their squad.
“I like Jack Grealish and I like what influence he has on the team,” he told Football Insider.
“But it’s staggering to see that he hasn’t scored for over a year, because with the ability he’s got, he has got to be doing better than that.
“He’s certainly not having the influence he used to, and the club have taken note of that.
“They’ve been left frustrated by his performances, and the longer this goes on for, the more questions will be asked of him.
“None of their players are playing to their best level at the moment, but that’s when you expect your big players to step up and make a difference.
“Grealish hasn’t done that, and he hasn’t done that for a while.
“From what I’ve heard, they would be open to offers from him at the end of the season to see if they can make money from his sale and reinvest it in their squad.
“We’ve said before that City want to make a lot of changes because their squad is ageing and declining, but they’ll need to raise money too.
“Grealish’s exit could be something they look to make some money from.”
