Everton have initiated talks with Manchester City over a potential loan deal for Jack Grealish, according to Fabrizio Romano.
During discussions today, Everton proposed a straight loan move for the England international without a buy option included in the deal. The Merseyside club are reportedly open to covering part of Grealish’s salary, though negotiations remain in the early stages.
Manchester City want Jack Grealish’s wages covered in full by any club taking him on loan, talkSPORT.
Grealish’s representatives have also been approached to gauge the player’s interest in the move. While Everton are leading discussions at the moment, multiple other clubs are said to be monitoring the situation and making inquiries.
Grealish, who joined Man City from Aston Villa in 2021 for a record £100 million fee, has had mixed fortunes at the Etihad. Although he’s contributed to several domestic trophies, consistent form and playing time have eluded him under Pep Guardiola.
With the new season approaching and City considering their squad dynamics, a loan move could offer Grealish the opportunity for more regular minutes, especially in a side like Everton where his creativity would be central.
More developments are expected as talks progress over the coming days.
