Man City tipped to accept ‘big’ Jack Grealish offer – sources
Jack Grealish could leave Manchester City this summer after seeing his opportunities reduced at the Etihad, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke suggested Grealish is unlikely to be happy with his playing time over the past season.
Football Insider revealed last month Man City are willing to listen to offers for the England international as a sale could be on the cards once the transfer window reopens next month.
It is believed Pep Guardiola is not completely convinced by the winger and he is considered dispensable as the club look to bring in some extra funds to continue improving their squad this summer.
O’Rourke revealed it could potentially be a difficult deal for any interested parties to pull off due to Grealish’s high wages and the Citizens looking to receive a “big fee” to offload him.
The 28-year-old is under contract at the Etihad until 2027.
Man City could offload Jack Grealish after performance dip
While Grealish has won plenty of trophies during his three years with Man City, his performances have been relatively mixed on a personal level.
The winger has only started 10 Premier League matches in the just-completed season, scoring three goals and laying on one assist, compared to the five goals and seven assists he registered in 23 starts in his side’s treble-winning campaign.
O’Rourke expects the rumours around Grealish’s future to rumble on throughout the summer as clubs weigh up whether a move to sign him is financially viable.
Football Insider revealed earlier this month Aston Villa are plotting a sensational move to re-sign their former academy product after Grealish left the club for £100million in 2021.
The Englishman isn’t the only high-profile player linked with a Man City exit this summer after Football Insider revealed on 24 May the club could sell goalkeeper Ederson for a “big fee” after Saudi Arabian sides have expressed an interest in signing him.
