Overview

• Everton are in talks to secure Jack Grealish on a season-long loan after Pep Guardiola deemed him surplus to requirements at City.
• Guardiola’s squad overhaul follows Grealish falling behind younger talents and his omission from Manchester City’s Club World Cup squad.
• Moyes conceded that Everton’s broader struggles to complete signings threaten to delay any agreement before the window closes.
• Manchester City would prefer a permanent sale but accepts that a loan deal is the most viable option given limited outside interest.
• Napoli and other clubs remain on standby while Everton’s Cheshire base and Grealish’s need for regular minutes could influence final terms.
