Manchester City don't plan to wait for Jack Grealish any longer.
"Manchester City will hear offers for Grealish at the end of the season due to their poor performance under Pep Guardiola on the 24th (Korea time). Grealish's contract with Manchester City is due until 2027, but Manchester City is contemplating completing it in the summer of 2025," he reported.
Grealish entered Manchester City at Aston Villa by showing the highest level of competitiveness in the English Premier League (EPL). In the 2021-2022 season, Manchester City invested 100 million pounds (about 188 billion won) to bring Grealish. It was the club's highest transfer fee ever and the first time in EPL history that the £100 million wall was broken.
However, Grealish has not been able to afford £100 million since his transfer. From the first season, Grealish failed to make the jump to a clear starting position. There are the best teammates and coaches in the world, but they only scored three goals and three assists.
Perhaps his pride was hurt, Grealish rebounded in his second season. Contributing to the first treble in Man City's history, he seemed to adjust well at Man City.
That was the end of the performance. Since last season, Grealish has again started to struggle in the main race. Injuries were also a problem, but attitudes were also serious. Guardiola also criticized Grealish for not openly boosting his performance. There was also a game in which Grealish was taken off the list of games altogether.
Even before the pre-season, it would not be enough to pledge a revival, so Grealish enjoyed only drinking and partying in the shock of not being able to go to Euro 2024 with the English national team. Grealish's drunken appearance while enjoying a vacation has become a hot topic through local media in the UK.
Grealish hasn't bounced back at all this season. He has not scored a goal for Manchester City since December 16, 2023, and is suffering from an all-time slump. In the end, Manchester City decided to sell Grealish even if it lost money.
Mick Brown, a former Manchester City scouts, said "I've heard that at the end of the season, I'll take his offer to see if I can make money from the sale of Grealish and reinvest in the team. I've said before that Manchester City wants a lot of changes because the squad is aging and declining, but they will have to raise funds as well. The sale of Grealish could be Manchester City moving to make money.
Manchester City seem to want to make money from Grealish, and Grealish's performance is disastrous, with even half of the £100 million transfer fee being recovered
