Overview

• City set a £40 million asking price for Jack Grealish this week, accepting a £60 million loss on the British-record £100 million fee paid in 2021.
• Grealish featured in just seven Premier League starts last season and was omitted from the Club World Cup squad, underscoring his reduced role under Pep Guardiola.
• Potential suitors including Everton and Tottenham have scouted the England winger but no formal bids have materialized to date.
• His £300,000 weekly wages and a contract running until 2027 have emerged as major obstacles for interested clubs.
• Moving Grealish is part of City’s broader summer strategy to trim high earners and free up funds for incoming transfers.
