Overview
- Everton are negotiating a permanent transfer for Jack Grealish, with reports indicating a preferred fee of about £20m rather than activating the £50m option.
- Jack Grealish has undergone surgery for a foot stress fracture and is ruled out for the rest of the season.
- Former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson suggested City could accept roughly £12–15m, though the player’s high wages remain a major hurdle.
- Everton are understood to be paying around £225,000 per week of Grealish’s salary and cannot cut the loan short, while City are inclined toward a sale over another loan.
- Grealish’s England prospects have dimmed after the FA extended Thomas Tuchel’s contract to 2028, despite his 22 appearances with two goals and six assists for Everton before the injury.
