Jack Grealish England’s swagger king and the £100m man from Aston Villa is trading Manchester City’s bench for Everton’s brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium. The 29-year-old has agreed to a season-long loan, desperate to reignite a career that’s stalled under Pep Guardiola’s ruthless rotation.
Everton aren’t just picking up a big name they’re getting a proven game-changer with vision, flair, and that unteachable ability to make defenders dance. It’ll cost them though over £12m for the privilege, including a chunk of his eye-watering £300k-a-week wages.
Meanwhile, City’s midfield shuffle continues. James McAtee, the silky academy gem and U21 Euros winner, is edging closer to Nottingham Forest after a boosted £25m bid.
Forest are also circling Monaco’s Magassa, Milan’s Musah, and Liverpool’s Tsimikas as they go full transfer-window war mode.
Spurs are sniffing around City’s Brazilian starlet Savinho, but it’ll take at least £50m to tempt Pep’s crew.
And here’s the plot twist City might crash Chelsea’s chase for RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, a player with the creativity and dynamism to light up any attack. Chelsea have personal terms wrapped up but need to offload big names first.
This window is turning into a chess match between England’s heavyweights and Grealish to Everton might just be the move that changes the whole board.
