Everton will aim to beat Aston Villa and Newcastle United to the signature of 29-year-old Manchester City outcast Jack Grealish in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Jack Grealish is the subject of interest from Everton. The Toffees are keen on opening talks with Manchester City to sign the struggling attacker. However, the Merseyside outfit will face stiff competition from Aston Villa and Newcastle United for the 29-year-old versatile forward.
Jack Grealish and his Manchester City woes
Jack Grealish has not lived up to the billing since joining Manchester City from Aston Villa in a big-money move in August 2021. The Citizens broke the bank to sign the Englishman. However, the former Aston Villa captain has only shown flashes of brilliance in the last four years, with his stock falling in the two most recent seasons.
The 29-year-old managed only 1,521 minutes of game time across 32 appearances in all competitions in the 2024/25 season while chipping in with three goals and five assists. However, Grealish’s stock in the market remains high, with Aston Villa, Everton, and Newcastle United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
A man in demand
Aston Villa must replace Marcus Rashford in the summer transfer window, with the Manchester United misfit unlikely to return to Villa Park. So, Grealish has emerged as a target for Aston Villa, with his versatility making the English international an attractive target for his former club.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s interest in Jack Grealish makes sense. The Magpies are scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the summer transfer window after choosing not to replace Miguel Almiron in January. So, the Manchester City outcast is an option worth considering for Newcastle United.
As for Everton, Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom have returned to their parent clubs after their loan deals ended. So, David Moyes wants a versatile wide attacker in the summer transfer window, with Grealish emerging as a viable target. The 29-year-old Englishman is reportedly open to joining Everton in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, the Toffees are keen on opening their talks to sign the Manchester City outcast on loan in the summer transfer window. However, Grealish’s £300,000-a-week wages pose a problem, and Everton may only have the funds to afford part of his salary. So, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the English international.
