- Everton eye loan move for Man City’s Jack Grealish
- Toffees believe location gives them key advantage
- West Ham and Napoli also chasing England forward
Everton have made contact over a potential loan move for Grealish, as per The Independent, who has slipped down the pecking order at Manchester City. While the 29-year-old is aware of the interest, any move will depend on whether City are willing to sanction a loan or insist on a permanent transfer. The Toffees are aiming for a high-end temporary deal and hope to move quickly.
Grealish was left out of City’s Club World Cup squad and is expected to consider new options this summer. Everton see him as a perfect creative spark to lead their transition into the new Hill Dickinson Stadium era. As per The Independent’s report, Grealish’s preference to remain in the north of England could give the Merseyside club a clear advantage over their competition.
Napoli and West Ham are also monitoring Grealish, but Everton remain confident of winning the race. They believe the player’s desire for stability and his young family’s needs could prove decisive. The recent Friedkin Group takeover has strengthened Everton’s financial position, allowing them to push for both Grealish and Lyon winger Malick Fofana.
Everton will continue talks with Manchester City in hopes of reaching a breakthrough over a premium loan structure. If the Premier League champions greenlight a temporary exit, the Toffees are poised to act fast. Meanwhile, Grealish is weighing up his options, with his future expected to be resolved before the season kicks off.
