The £100m man has a new home: Jack Grealish completes a shock loan move image

Everton have their new man.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has just delivered his trademark "Here We Go," confirming that Manchester City winger Jack Grealish has completed a sensational loan move to Everton.

The deal, which will see the England international spend the 2025-26 season at Goodison Park, is a major coup for the Toffees and a career-saving move for Grealish.

Romano's exclusive update, confirms that all parties have reached a full agreement.

Grealish has already travelled to Merseyside to complete his medical, and an official club announcement is now just a matter of time.

The transfer is a result of Grealish's desperate desire for regular football.

He endured a challenging 2024-25 season, starting just seven Premier League games for Manchester City, a lack of game time that put his place in the England squad for the upcoming World Cup year in jeopardy.

The move to Everton, where he is guaranteed a starting role under manager David Moyes, offers him the perfect platform to rediscover his best form.

The deal, which is a straight season-long loan with no option or obligation to buy, is a financial masterpiece for both clubs.

Manchester City have managed to offload a significant portion of Grealish's staggering £300,000-a-week wage, while Everton has secured a world-class talent without committing to an enormous transfer fee.

The arrival of Grealish, who previously cost City £100 million in 2021, is a major statement of intent from Everton and their new ownership, the Friedkin Group.

For Grealish, this marks a fresh start.

Freed from the tactical constraints of Pep Guardiola's system and the immense pressure of his price tag, he will be given the creative freedom he thrived on during his time at Aston Villa.

His flair, vision, and ball-carrying ability could be the key to unlocking Everton's attack and pushing them up the Premier League table.

With the deal now done, all eyes will be on Grealish to see if he can deliver on his immense talent and prove to the world that his best years are still ahead of him.
