Add as a preferred source on Google

Jack Grealish is set to join Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City. The deal is close to finalization, with Grealish expected to be available for Everton's Premier League opener against Leeds United, as per various media reports.

Manchester City has made Grealish available for transfer after he fell out of favour, featuring sparingly last season and being omitted from important squads such as the Club World Cup. Everton manager David Moyes admires Grealish and plans to use him primarily as a number 10 (attacking midfielder) rather than on the wing.

Since joining from Aston Villa, Grealish never lived up to the expectations and now looks set to leave the Etihad and switch to the Blue half of Merseyside.

How much money will Jack Grealish earn? Who will cover the Wages?

Regarding the wage arrangement, Grealish currently earns around £300,000 per week, which Everton cannot fully meet without disrupting their wage structure. Negotiations suggest that Manchester City will pay the majority of his salary, while Everton is likely to cover around £90,000 per week. This cost-sharing is part of the loan agreement, and there is also a possibility of including an option for Everton to make the move permanent if Grealish performs well.

Are Man City Happy?

Manchester City prefer a permanent transfer but have to settle with a loan. Grealish has two years remaining on his contract at City. The loan move offers Grealish the chance for much-needed playing time to regain form and increase his chances of making England's squad for the 2026 World Cup. The 29-year-old scored 3 goals across all competitions last season, and a total of 17 goals in 157 appearances for Man City in his four seasons.

What to expect from Jack Grealish?

It is a pivotal move for Jack Grealish. The England international has lacked game time at Man City and has failed to showcase his immense talent. The winger is ought to have more minutes at Everton and will be aiming to return to his best in the coming season. He will likely operate from the left wing for the Toffees while a role as a traditional attacking midfielder may also be an option.
