Jack Grealish Set for Everton Move as Medical Booked and Loan Deal Agreed

Jack Grealish is about to join Everton on loan for a season. The midfielder will have his medical today after Everton agreed a deal with Manchester City for the loan.

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?

Everton and Manchester City have agreed for Grealish to join Everton on loan for this season. The deal includes a possible £50 million buy option, but it’s not required. Grealish can decide if he wants to make it permanent next summer. He’s heading for his medical at Everton now. Grealish wanted the move for more playing time, hoping to make England’s World Cup squad in 2026. According to reports, he is considering a fresh start after four seasons in Manchester.

THE BIGGER PICTURE FOR GREALISH AND BOTH CLUBS

Last season, Grealish rarely played, starting only one game in the Premier League in 2025. He missed important matches, including the FA Cup final and the last league match. Grealish made only one Premier League start last season, tallying 2 goals and 3 assists due to his inability to secure a consistent spot in the squad. At City, he won trophies but struggled with form and fitness. This move to Everton is vital for reviving his club and international career. Everton finished 15th in the Premier League last season, barely avoiding relegation, and scored just 42 league goals, one of the lowest record in the league. Signing Grealish, a playmaker with top-level experience, could help David Moyes’ team climb the standings in the 2025-26 season.

WHAT’S NEXT IN THE TRANSFER AND UPCOMING FIXTURES

After his medical, the final paperwork will complete Grealish’s move to Goodison Park. Everton plays Leeds United at home on Saturday. Both teams are likely to be engaged in a relegation battle, so a strong start is important for both sides. City, now without Grealish, hosts Wolves, who were also involved in a fierce relegation battle last season, ultimately managing to stay in the England’s top tier. They want to reclaim their title after finishing in 3rd place last time around. Everyone is watching to see if Grealish can make his Everton debut and if this move will revive both the player and his new club.
