Manchester City Confirms Jack Grealish Exit Talks Amid Premier League Interest

Jack Grealish's future at Manchester City remains uncertain after being left out of the Club World Cup squad, signaling a possible summer exit. Pep Guardiola acknowledged Grealish's talent but suggested the midfielder needs to find a new club to regain his form and enjoyment of football after limited playing time over the past two seasons. Despite two years remaining on his contract, Grealish is expected to leave, with interest from several Premier League clubs including Everton, Newcastle, Tottenham, and Aston Villa, with Everton reportedly his preferred destination. The player has been maintaining fitness during a holiday, sharing updates on social media, while Guardiola emphasized there is no personal animosity between them. Manchester City values Grealish around £50 million and have not received formal offers yet, with wage demands possibly complicating transfers. Grealish's decline in both club and international playing time has intensified speculation about his need for regular football ahead of the World Cup year.
