Exclusive: Man City ready to sell 'partying' Jack Grealish as new concerns emerge
Manchester City are willing to sell Jack Grealish this summer after concerns have emerged over his “partying”, sources have told Football Insider.
Grealish is renowned for being the life and soul of the party at Man City, having joined the club from Aston Villa in 2021.
The 28-year-old is often front and centre of the celebrations, with footage emerging of him nearly falling off the bus during his side's latest Premier League trophy parade.
Away from the cameras, Grealish is seen as a "fun-loving character", sources say, who is "very popular" in the dressing room.
But the England international had a dismal campaign on a personal level last season and Man City have taken a dim view of some of his antics off the pitch as well.
It is believed they will sell him, and as early as this summer, if they can recoup a large chunk of the £100million they paid to sign him three years ago.
Sources say Villa would jump at the chance to re-sign the winger, who is under contract at the Etihad until 2027.
Aston Villa could re-sign Jack Grealish after Man City concerns
Football Insider first revealed in April Man City are willing to listen to offers for Grealish on the back of his poor campaign.
The winger only started 10 Premier League matches last 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 last year.
That saw Grealish miss out on a place in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the European Championships after previously being a regular fixture in the England side.
Villa would be keen to land a deal for their former academy product, but Man City are looking to recoup a significant portion of the £100million they paid to sign him three years ago.
