Sources: 65. Developments: 10. Jack Grealish has officially joined Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City, marking his second consecutive year with the club. The move follows a period of uncertainty regarding the 30-year-old winger’s future at the Etihad Stadium, where he saw limited playing time under manager Enzo Maresca, appearing only in the Community Shield and one Premier League match against Bournemouth. Grealish, who previously experienced a career revival during a loan spell at Everton before a foot injury in early 2024, expressed significant enthusiasm regarding the move. Upon his return, he stated, “It feels so good. I’m so happy. I think I’m at my best at everything in life, not just football, when I feel loved.” He attributed his positive outlook to the support of the manager, teammates, and fans. The transfer was finalized during the final day of the European summer transfer window, a period that also saw significant activity across other major leagues, including Juventus securing Nick Woltemade on loan and various high-profile negotiations involving clubs like Chelsea and Fulham. ## Claims - Sunderland has submitted a loan offer for Jack Grealish to Manchester City.
