English star is ready to quit Man City despite Maresca wanting him

Jack Grealish is reportedly still interested in making his Everton move permanent this summer, even though Manchester City’s managerial change could give him another chance at the Etihad.

According to Football Insider, the 30-year-old remains “keen” on joining Everton permanently after spending last season on loan at Goodison Park.

However, incoming Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca is expected to sit down with Grealish once he officially takes charge, with the Italian willing to offer him a potential lifeline at City.

This is a fascinating situation because Grealish is not simply being pushed out without a choice.

Maresca appears open to hearing him out and possibly giving him a fresh start.

Sky Sports’ paper talk also reported last week that Maresca wants to hand Grealish a Man City lifeline, which could complicate Everton’s hopes.
