In one of the most surprising moves in the summer, Jack Grealish will swap Manchester City for Everton with a season-long loan.
According to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs have reached a comprehensive agreement and plan to conduct medical treatment later today, with the deal expected to be completed within the next 24 hours.
Romano reported that Grealish “yes” to the Everton Project after active talks with the club’s hierarchy.
The 29-year-old midfielder, who has won multiple Premier League titles and Champions League trophys with Manchester City, is now ready to face new challenges under David Moyes’ leadership.

Everton’s pursuit of Grealish has accelerated in recent days after players said they were open, keen on ensuring more consistent game time.
The move also happened after Grey Lishin had a conversation with England manager Thomas Tuchel, who made it clear to the midfielder that he was part of the national team’s plan but that he needed to play football for him to gain a place in the team.
At Manchester City, Grealish struggled last season due to competition from the team, and it was clear that his future was far from Etihad Stadium.

The discussion between Everton and Man City is financially focused, with the city insisting on full coverage of Grealish’s salary during the loan period. Everton has stepped up financially due to his recent departure and is eager to inject creativity into their attacks and agrees to these conditions to secure the deal.
For Moyes, the move represents a signing of a statement as he hopes to reinvent Everton as a side that can play in the first half of the Premier League.
For Grealish, it was an opportunity to step out of the city rotation system and become a central figure again, with his outstanding abilities in Aston Villa.
