Man City outcast eyed by Serie A giants setting up potential reunion image

Manchester City have spent big money this summer, but the outgoings have been less impressive. 

Pep Guardiola wants to get rid of the excess players in his squad to avoid having unhappy players at the club.

Jack Grealish is one of the main players looking for an exit, and the Englishman could see himself reuniting with a former teammate. 

Which club is interested in signing Grealish?

According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli have shifted their focus to Grealish as an option for a new winger. 

The Italian club has withdrawn their interest in Ademola Lookman and is now focusing on other targets.

Grealish has been identified as an option, with Grealish's former teammate Kevin de Bruyne already joining Napoli this summer. 

Grealish has been pushed out of the City squad, as Guardiola is constantly adding to his ranks to improve his squad.

The 29-year-old is looking to find consistent playing time, as he tries to get back into the England squad before the 2026 World Cup.

The two could be in for a reunion at the Italian club, although Napoli are also looking into Liverpool's Federico Chiesa. 

Grealish has also been linked to Premier League clubs, including West Ham and Everton, but the Englishman's wages could present an issue for whichever club eventually makes their move for the winger.
