Jack Grealish agrees Everton loan move - how much is the option to buy from Manchester City?
Everton have agreed a season-long loan with Manchester City for winger Jack Grealish.
The 29-year-old, admired by Everton manager David Moyes, is set for a medical today ahead of the move.
Man City left him out of their Club World Cup squad to allow a full pre-season and help secure a club where he could play regularly, with the upcoming World Cup a key factor.
Grealish, Man City’s £100m record signing, made just one Premier League start last season and was unused in the FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace.
The 29-year-old played a major role in Man City’s 2023 treble but has since fallen out of favour under Pep Guardiola, with new signings becoming the shiny new toys.
Man City could make at least half of their investment back at the end of Grealish’s loan spell, with a £50m option to buy included in the Everton deal.
The England international had interest from Napoli earlier this summer but will remain in the Premier League, joining Everton’s first season at the new Hil Dickinson Stadium.
If the deal is completed in time, he could debut against Leeds United on Monday, August 18.
