Everton Nears Loan Deal for Man City Winger Grealish Covering Majority Wages

Everton are intensifying their efforts to sign Manchester City winger Jack Grealish, who has been deemed surplus to requirements under Pep Guardiola and is keen to move on. Despite Grealish's substantial £300,000-a-week wages, Everton are reportedly willing to cover most of his salary, potentially paying at least £12 million over the loan period. The club views Grealish as a marquee signing to strengthen their squad and help the winger revive his career, with manager David Moyes being a known admirer. Manchester City aims to offload Grealish as well as midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who is also out of favor and linked with potential moves. Grealish's contract runs until 2027, and he has been excluded from City’s pre-season squads, signaling a clear intent to move him on. Other clubs like Bayern Munich and Newcastle have shown interest, but Everton's offer and Grealish's willingness to join them have bolstered their position in securing the loan deal.
