LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND — In one of the most significant moves of the summer transfer window, Everton has reportedly agreed to a season-long loan deal for Manchester City winger Jack Grealish. The agreement includes a future option for Everton to purchase the England international for a fee of around £50 million next summer.
The 29-year-old winger, who was once Britain's most expensive player after his £100 million transfer from Aston Villa in 2021, has seen his role diminish under City boss Pep Guardiola. Grealish made only seven Premier League starts last season and was notably omitted from City's Club World Cup squad, prompting speculation about his future.
This move is a welcome one for all parties. For Grealish, it's a crucial opportunity to secure consistent playing time and fight for a spot in the England squad ahead of the next World Cup. For Everton, it represents a major statement of intent as they prepare for their first season at a new stadium. Manager David Moyes, a long-time admirer of Grealish, hopes the winger's creativity and experience will provide a much-needed boost to the team's attack. Grealish was reportedly undergoing his medical on Monday and could make his debut in Everton's Premier League opener against Leeds United on August 18.
