Jack Grealish Set for Medical at Everton Amid Leeds Transfer Rumors

Jack Grealish is expected to undergo a medical with Everton on Monday after the Premier League club secured a season-long loan deal from Manchester City. The 29-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move away from City, with Everton leading the race to sign him due to a fall in playing time under Pep Guardiola.

Grealish, who transferred from Aston Villa for a British record fee of £100 million in 2021, made 32 appearances last season for City, but only half as a starter. His limited involvement in Premier League matches—just seven starts—has prompted speculation about his future.

Throughout his time at City, Grealish has been a key contributor, with 157 appearances, 17 goals, and 23 assists. He has helped the club secure multiple titles, including three Premier League championships, the Champions League, and the FA Cup. Notably, he played a crucial role in City’s treble-winning season in 2022-23 and was part of their victory squads in the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.

City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, acknowledged earlier this year that he wanted Grealish to regain his elite form from the treble-winning campaign. Guardiola emphasized the importance of consistent effort and competition for starting spots, stating, “They have to fight. I don’t doubt Jack’s quality, but they must prove themselves every day.”

Grealish’s move to Everton marks a new chapter in his career, aiming to secure more regular playing time and contribute to his new club’s ambitions.
