In football, timing often means everything and sometimes, even the biggest names need to hit the reset button.
At Manchester City, the competition is relentless. A place in the starting eleven must be earned week after week, and not every talent gets the chance to shine consistently.
That has become increasingly clear for one of City’s high-profile signings, who, despite arriving amid much fanfare and a hefty price tag, has struggled to secure a guaranteed spot under Pep Guardiola.
With his 30th birthday approaching and his influence fading, the idea of staying in Manchester no longer seems like the obvious choice.
According to a report from Fichajes, several Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation, but one side in particular has stepped up with serious intent.
At Goodison Park, there is belief that this could be the signing to spark a new chapter.
Negotiations are said to be moving forward, with the player himself open to the move mainly because of the promise of regular football and a key role.
City are not expected to block the transfer. Guardiola understands the player’s desire for more minutes, and the club is prepared to let him go, provided the financial terms are fair.
At Everton, the player would bring experience, creativity, and a touch of flair, exactly what the Toffees need as they look to move up the table under David Moyes.
For the player, it is about feeling important again. Trophies have been won, but the hunger to make a difference every weekend has not faded.
That is why this summer could mark the start of a new journey for Jack Grealish.
The 29-year-old is desperate for game time as he wants to impress the England boss, Thomas Tuchel with the World Cup next year.
Jack Grealish wants to be a part of that World Cup squad and doesn’t the treatment he got from Pep while selecting his Club World Cup squad.
Grealish was left behind by City. But, with Everton, he will surely push to regain his spot in the England squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
