Grealish Linked to Everton, Paqueta Swap Considered

Jack Grealish, sidelined after an injury-hit season at Manchester City, is attracting transfer interest as the club is open to letting him leave on loan or permanently. Everton have made a formal approach for a season-long loan but face challenges over Grealish’s £300,000-a-week wages. Fenerbahce’s bid has been rejected, with Bayern Munich and Newcastle also showing interest, though Grealish is reportedly keen to remain in the Premier League. Manchester City are considering using Grealish in a swap deal for West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta, now a top target after betting allegations against him were resolved. Former teammate Gabriel Agbonlahor has publicly advised Grealish to join Tottenham for Champions League football, but Everton remain the most persistent suitor. A decision on Grealish’s future is expected later in the transfer window.
