Jack Grealish is set to complete a high-profile loan move from Manchester City to Everton, with the England winger scheduled for a medical on Monday. The deal, agreed between the two Premier League clubs, will see the 29-year-old spend the 2025–26 season at Goodison Park’s new home, the Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Grealish’s exit from Man City has been on the cards all summer after Pep Guardiola left him out of the Club World Cup squad in June. Despite his £300,000-per-week wages, Everton FC have beaten competition from other clubs to land the former Aston Villa captain — a statement signing as they prepare for their first season in a new stadium.
The winger endured a mixed 2024–25 campaign, featuring 32 times in all competitions but starting only seven Premier League games. That’s a major drop from his key role in City’s 2022–23 Treble-winning side, which lifted the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup.
Since joining Man City from Aston Villa in 2021 for a then-British record £100 million, Grealish has played 157 matches, scored 17 goals, and made 23 assists. His honours include three league titles, the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup, and that historic Treble.
Pep Guardiola has praised Grealish’s quality but challenged him to fight for his place. With competition from new arrivals like Savinho, the England international has fallen down the pecking order, opening the door for this Everton transfer.
Everton manager David Moyes — a long-time admirer who once called Grealish “probably the best player in the Premier League” — will now have the chance to work with him. For the Toffees, this is more than a loan signing; it’s a marquee arrival to kick off a new era in front of 52,769 fans at Bramley-Moore Dock.
