Star English footballer Jack Grealish is all set to join Everton in a loan deal from Manchester City for the 2025-26 season of the Premier League. According to Fabrizio Romano, the 29-year-old footballer, who joined the Manchester-based club in a six-year deal for £100 million on August 5, 2021, has agreed to personal terms and is on his way to Merseyside for a medical.
The Merseyside-based club is confident the deal will be concluded in the coming days, and the 29-year-old footballer will be able to feature in their Premier League opener at Elland Road Stadium against Leeds United.
But according to SunSport there is no option to buy in the deal.
Grealish, who was the most expensive English player at the time of his arrival at the Etihad Stadium from his boyhood club Aston Villa in August 2021, played a total of 32 matches across all competitions for Pep Guardiola’s side last season but was only able to score three goals.
Overall, he played 157 matches for the Manchester-based club in the last four seasons and scored 17 times, which includes 12 goals in 94 Premier League matches.
With Manchester City, Grealish won Premier League titles in the 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup and the FA Cup in 2023.
Dip in form
In 2024-25 season, Grealish managed to score only three goals in 32 games – with Guardiola encouraging the forward to explore a move away.
“Jack is an exceptional player. The only reason why he didn’t play last season is of course my decisions,” Pep said in June.
“We decide that he has to play. The club was honest, he was honest. We decide the best is to stay (behind) and have a place that he can feel like he can come back to be the player like he was in the year of the treble or all his career in Aston Villa.
“The fact is in the last two seasons he didn’t play much minutes. He has to come back to play and have the butterflies in his stomach that he can play every three days, every three days and show again the quality he has.”
