Everton are reportedly interested in signing John Stones and Jack Grealish from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
As per a report by TEAMtalk, Everton are keen on signing Jack Grealish and John Stones in the summer transfer window.
Stones has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester City, and he needs to leave the club in order to play regularly. Returning to his boyhood club could be ideal for him. The Englishman came through the ranks at Everton, and he knows the club well. He will be able to settle in quickly and have an immediate impact.
Meanwhile, Everton need to improve defensively. Signing the England international would be ideal for them. The experienced defender has been a reliable performer for Manchester City over the years, and he helped them win major trophies.
This is the right time to take a step back and return to his former club once again. Stones is likely to get regular opportunities with them, and the move would be ideal for all parties.
Grealish set for permanent move to Everton?
Meanwhile, Grealish is already on loan at Everton, and he has done well for the Merseyside outfit. The Englishman has no future at Manchester City, and he needs to leave them permanently at the end of the season. Joining Everton would be ideal for him.
The Toffees are hoping to sign him for a fee of around £20-25 million, as per a report by i News. It will be interesting to see if Manchester City are willing to sell the experienced English attacker for that price.
Manchester City paid around £100 million to sign the midfielder from Aston Villa, but the move has not worked out for them. They will look to get rid of the player and cut their losses on him. It makes sense for them to sell the plate for a reasonable price. It is highly unlikely that any club will be a premium for him.
Meanwhile, both players are on significant wages, and Manchester City will look to offload them and replace them properly. It would be ideal for them to let the duo move on quickly at the end of the season. There is no doubt that they would be equal additions to the Everton team.
