Manchester City Sets £40 Million Price for Jack Grealish Sale

Manchester City is prepared to sell Jack Grealish for around £40 million, a significant loss from the £100 million they paid in 2021, as he no longer fits into Pep Guardiola's plans. The 29-year-old winger, who has struggled with injuries and form, was excluded from the Club World Cup squad and has seen his market value drop amid interest from multiple clubs including Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, and Napoli. Despite his declining role, Grealish has been part of City's recent success, including winning the 2022-23 treble, but the club is eager to accelerate his departure. Newcastle United, with a strong transfer budget, remain interested in acquiring Grealish to strengthen their squad for the Champions League. Manchester City’s willingness to accept a reduced fee reflects their urgency to offload one of their highest earners, who still has two years remaining on his contract. This potential transfer would mark one of the largest financial losses on a single player in City’s history.
