Jack Grealish’s Manchester City Future In Doubt After Final Day Omission

English winger Jack Grealish was left out of Manchester City’s squad for their last Premier League game of the season against Fulham. This raises serious questions about his future with the team.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Grealish didn’t play in Manchester City‘s 2-0 win over Fulham on Sunday. This victory secured their spot in next season’s Champions League. Coach Pep Guardiola said Grealish wasn’t picked for “selection” reasons and later admitted that the £100 million star could leave this summer. The 29-year-old forward has had a tough year, starting just one Premier League game in 2025 and playing a minor role in Guardiola’s plans.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

This season has been tough for Grealish, with only 1,500 minutes of play in all competitions. He’s made 32 appearances for City but has only achieved eight goals or assists, ending a long 16-month goal drought in April. Despite being part of City’s successful treble-winning campaign in 2022-23, his importance has decreased, with injuries preventing his progress. Manchester City’s third-place finish in the Premier League is their first season without a trophy since Grealish joined, following their FA Cup loss to Crystal Palace last weekend.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR GREALISH?

Grealish will talk with Manchester City this summer to decide his future. He turns 30 in September and reportedly makes up to £380,000 per week including bonuses. The England player is a large investment for City. His involvement in the upcoming Club World Cup in America is uncertain as the club decides if a transfer would be better. Despite his struggles, Grealish is talented, and many teams would be interested if he leaves the Etihad. He briefly rejoined the England squad earlier this season before injuries and a loss of form affected his progress.
