Pundit verdict on Man City potentially axing Jack Grealish for ‘superstar’ after source’s reveal
Alan Hutton has insisted Jack Grealish has unfinished business at Man City.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Tottenham and Aston Villa defender said City do not need to trade off Grealish for Jude Bellingham.
On 3 December, sources told this site that the Sky Blues would be willing to sell the 27-year-old in order to fund the signing of Bellingham.
The Premier League giants are increasing their interest in the 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund star.
The midfielder will cost upwards of £100million and as a result the sale of Grealish is becoming a realistic prospect.
Grealish has struggled to make his mark in Pep Guardiola’s side behind top competition and has only started six league games this season.
When asked if Grealish for Bellingham would be a likely tradeoff for City, Hutton told Football Insider: “I can’t see that happening.
“I think Man City are probably one of the only teams in the world that can afford to keep these superstars and then go and get another one.
“I can’t see them trading off. Jack has only been there a few seasons. I think there is still a lot more to come from him.
“I do not think they would want to cut him out the picture to get in another player. If they want the likes of Bellingham I think they will just go for it. They are that type of team. It is really about can they persuade him to come to the Etihad.“
