Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager, decided to sell Jack Grealish.
Reporter Jack Goheon, who is active in the British Daily Mail and is good at information on Manchester City, revealed the list of players who are trying to release for rebuilding in Manchester City on the 20th (Korea time) "How Guardiola is trying to make the Manchester City 5.0 version "
Grealish was mentioned along with Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardu Silva, John Stones and Ilkay Gündoan. On the same day, the British Mirror reported that Guardiola was ready to approve the summer of eight first-team players, including Grealish.
Man City, after all, seem to have decided to let Grealish go. Grealish moved from Aston Villa to Manchester City in 2021, becoming the first English Premier League (EPL) player to surpass a whopping £100 million transfer fee. Man City have invested a huge amount of money in Grealish and have significantly increased their treatment.
This is because Grealish judged it to be a necessary piece for Manchester City. However, Grealish has never had a good season except for the treble season in the 2022-2023 season. In the 2023-2024 season, Grealish's attitude on and off the field began to be questioned as to whether he had achieved a treble. Since then, Manchester City has had doubts about Grealish's long-term future.
A player who doesn't work hard doesn't get rewarded. Grealish finished the season without even scoring an attacking point in the league after scoring a league goal at the end of December 2023. The result of the sluggish season was the elimination of the England squad ahead of Euro 2024.
Shocked, Grealish tried to get over it with alcohol and parties. In the summer of 2024, Grealish became the target of paparazzi with his drunken appearance and weird clothes. Grealish, who lost his professional form even before the pre-season, is also sluggish in the 2024-2025 season.
He has not scored in more than a year at Manchester City, and has only scored two goals and five assists in 24 games so far this season. One goal and three assists among these offensive points were made by Manchester City when they faced lower league teams in the FA Cup. He has a disastrous record of one goal and two assists in 22 games only when facing teams at the same level.
Born in 1995, Grealish is now in his 30s. If the sale of Grealish is postponed any longer, Manchester City is in a situation where it is more difficult to sell players. Manchester City has already shown that it has started moving for a massive rebuild since the winter transfer market. Grealish looks destined to be released along with several players who are not very helpful at Manchester City.
