Premier League clubs circle Grealish as his future hangs in balance
Jack Grealish, the 30‑year‑old English winger, became the most expensive British player when he moved to Manchester City for £100 million (R$ 736 million) in 2021, and now faces a crucial decision about his future as the Premier League transfer window draws to a close.
Aston Villa and Everton chase Grealish
Os clubs Aston Villa and Everton are actively in contact with his representatives, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported.
The interest intensifies as the transfer window approaches its end.
Romano also dismissed any concrete link to Sunderland, saying there is “absolutely nothing concrete” with the Black Cats.
Why the clubs want him
Aston Villa view a Grealish return as a statement for manager Unai Emery’s ambitious project.
Grealish was an idol during his first spell at Villa and knows the club intimately.
Everton need a creative spark to improve their offensive system and relieve pressure on Iliman N'Diaye, who must remain for another season despite interest from big Premier League clubs.
Grealish’s limited minutes at City this season underline his reduced role.
He played 45 minutes in City’s 3‑0 loss to Arsenal in the Community Shield and eight minutes in the Premier League win over Bournemouth.
He also won several important titles under Pep Guardiola.
His limited minutes suggest he is not in Enzo Maresca’s plans for the club’s restructuring.
The 30‑year‑old is carefully weighing his futuro as the deadline approaches.

Romano confirmed Grealish must decide in the coming days.
A move back to Villa could restore regular playing time and please the club’s ambitions.
A switch to Everton would give the Toffees a creative spark and address their attacking needs.
Both clubs see his creativity as key to their upcoming campaigns.
