Hold onto your shin pads, because Manchester City might be about to drop the transfer bombshell no one saw coming—Jack Grealish, the £100 million man, could be heading out of the Etihad. And guess who’s suddenly lurking like a cat in a transfer window? That’s right—Everton.
In what’s being dubbed a “transfer twist,” insiders suggest City are quietly open to letting Grealish leave this summer. Pep’s poker face remains unreadable as ever, but whispers say patience is wearing thin after an inconsistent, injury-tinged season that saw more Instagram stories than assists. Harsh? Maybe. But in a squad this stacked, sentimentality gets benched fast.
Enter Everton—yes, that Everton—who are sniffing around with intent. On paper, it’s a bizarre fit. But factor in their need for creativity, PR buzz, and a player who can fill both seats and highlight reels, and suddenly, it makes twisted sense.
Grealish, meanwhile, has been uncharacteristically quiet. No cryptic quotes. No forehead-kisses-to-the-camera. Just a couple of moody training pics and a Louis Vuitton backpack suspiciously lacking club colours.
Could a player once seen as City’s marquee showman really end up trading Champions League nights for Goodison Park grinds? Stranger things have happened (James Rodríguez, anyone?).
One thing’s for sure: if this deal goes through, it’s the biggest glow-down—or glow-up, depending on your view—that this window’s seen yet.
And you can bet Grealish’s calves will still trend either way.
