Overview

• Manchester City confirmed Grealish’s loan move to Everton for the 2025–26 campaign in a club statement on August 12.
• The agreement includes an option for Everton to make the transfer permanent next summer for around £50 million.
• Key negotiations focused on how to split Grealish’s reported £300,000-per-week salary between Manchester City and Everton.
• The 29-year-old, who fell out of favour under Pep Guardiola, has picked Everton’s No. 18 shirt and said he is “over the moon” to join the club.
• Everton regard the England international as a creative boost at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium and a way for him to revive his form ahead of the World Cup cycle.
