Jack Grealish will not be joining Manchester City`s pre-season tour in the United States. The English attacking midfielder has stayed behind in Manchester to explore potential transfer opportunities.
Similarly, Kyle Walker, another key figure from the club`s historic 2022-2023 Treble-winning season, was also left out of the touring squad and is considering his future.
Regarding the defender, initial interest is beginning to surface. Turkish clubs Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are reportedly keeping an eye on Walker. Grealish`s situation is different; currently, there are no concrete offers reported for him.
Manchester City, who signed Grealish for €118 million, acknowledges that the player`s market value has decreased. As a result, the club is reportedly prepared to consider the possibility of a loan move for Grealish. However, any deal would likely start with a valuation around €45 million, a figure significantly lower than the initial investment.
This summer appears set to be a period of significant activity for two players who were recently central to Pep Guardiola`s successful era but now seem to find themselves on the fringes of the current technical plan, potentially seeking a fresh start elsewhere.
