Manchester City has been breaking the British transfer record for four years to sign Jack Grealish for 100 million pounds sterling, but now they have evaluated the possibility of funding its release.
It was excluded from the Cup World Cup team in the city in the United States this summer, and the message seems clear that it is no longer part of Pep Guardiola plans. Grealish is now looking for his next move, the one that will allow him to rediscover his best form and even push back in the England team before the World Cup next summer.
Its objective is to catch up with lost time and make sure that there is no shortage of another major tournament on American soil, but the way to go is not simple.
Loaned to London?
Sources have indicated that West Ham United had established informal contact concerning Grenalish’s situation, exploring the possibility of signing it before the start of the new season.
The Hammers are looking for new attack options after the departure of Mohammed Kudus, but persuading Grealish to join can be difficult. West Ham had trouble at the bottom of the Premier League last season and showed few signs of significant progress under Graham Potter so far.
A permanent transfer is not taken into account. Relatives of Manchester City suggest that a loan move is considered the most realistic solution this summer.
Grealish, 29, earns more than £ 300,000 per week in Etihad – which means that City should cover a substantial part of his salary to facilitate a decision.
More interest from Premier League
Everton is another club that would be interested while they are looking to take momentum before their move in a new stadium. Tottenham Hotspur also has a real interest and currently represents the most prominent English club that could offer him a new start.
Newcastle United was previously linked, but their current objective seems to have moved to other transfer priorities – including the prosecution of Hugo Ekitike, which we revealed last week was likely to be in preparation.
The situation begins to intensify. There has been little urgency to find a resolution so far, but with the current pre-season and the new campaign as approach, there is an increasing goal in the search for Grenalish for a new club.
A move abroad remains a small possibility, although recent links with AC Milan and Napoli have been rejected by sources close to the player.
