Man City to reunite with Grealish
Jack Grealish, also a former Manchester City player, will return to the club during the meeting between Everton and Manchester City this Saturday afternoon. The English player remains under contract with Manchester City until June 2027.
Since the start of the season, Grealish has stood out for his performances at Everton. Pep Guardiola spoke about his situation, specifying that he could consider a return of the player: “I think he still has one year left on his contract with us. The important thing is that he's back. He has an influence in Everton matches. After the latest events, Manchester City could want to bring him back, but nothing has been decided. Many scenarios remain possible. We will see how the situation develops. What matters right now is that he is playing and playing games. »
