Man City set huge Jack Grealish condition as Everton begin talks over loan move for England star
Manchester City want Jack Grealish’s wages covered in full by any club taking him on loan, talkSPORT understands. Everton have made an approach to City to sign Grealish with talks at an early stage. Grealish’s massive wages could stop him moving on this summerGetty The England international, who earns around £300,000-a-week at the Etihad Stadium, is understood to have accepted his career at City is over. Grealish, who joined from Aston Villa in 2021 for £100million, was left out of their squad for the Club World Cup. talkSPORT reported last month that Everton remain interested in a move for the 29-year-old and their interest has not wavered. However, any deal has been complicated by City demanding that any interested clubs wanting to take Grealish on loan must foot the bill on his massive wages. Everton have already seen their £40m offer for Tyler Dibling rejected by Southampton. The Saints responded with a counter-offer that consisted of an initial £45million plus £5m in add-ons, and a 25 per cent sell-on clause. But Everton now look set to quieten their interest in Dibling to push for Grealish instead this summer. Grealish has two years remaining on his contract at City and attracted interest from West Ham earlier in the window. Tottenham Hotspur have also been keen on the England international, as well as Serie A champions Napoli. Everton have signed Thierno Barry, Carlos Alcaraz, Adam Aznou and Mark Travers this summer for around £50m collectively. A move to Everton could inspire Grealish to return to formGetty However talkSPORT’s Gabby Agbonlahor, who played with Grealish at Villa, doesn’t think a move to the Toffees would work out.

Would Everton be good for Grealish? “Everton… I think it could be frustrating if they don’t improve that squad,” Agbonlahor said. “And in pre-season, they’ve been terrible.” The Hill Dickinson Stadium has become Everton’s new home ahead of the 2025/26 season and has a capacity of 52,769.
