Everton shouldn’t count themselves out of the race for Manchester City forward Jack Grealish this transfer window.
The England international seems to be out of Pep Guardiola’s plan at the Etihad Stadium, and an exit looks likely in the coming weeks.
David Moyes could entice Grealish to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the Toffees in the race for the 29-year-old’s signature.
The Man City superstar’s move to Bramley-Moore Dock would certainly make headlines, and the Blues have been given hope of completing a deal.

Everton can pursue Grealish transfer late in window as Man City pick up large share of wages
Grealish could potentially become a much more realistic target for the Toffees later in the ongoing transfer window, Phil McNulty says.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
The BBC Sports chief football writer believes that the Blues know there’s a deal to be done for the Englishman this summer, but Man City would surely have to contribute a large share of the forward’s wages for a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
McNulty feels it would be difficult for the Merseyside outfit to sign the 29-year-old right now, but things may change in the coming months.

The journalist wrote on BBC Sport (24 June): “Everton, like many other clubs, will be aware that there is a deal to be done for Grealish, but this would be a very rich deal for Everton to do — and would certainly require Man City picking up a large share of his salary.
“So, at the moment, I think you can categorise this as being a long shot, but if the clock runs down towards the window closing and Grealish has not found himself a new club, then I can certainly see Everton at least trying to find out the lay of the land.
“There will be plenty of other clubs interested as well because, despite his struggles last season, Grealish is a real talent who still has the capability to exert great influence on games.”

Grealish transfer would be game-changing for Moyes
The Friedkin Group (TFG) must back Moyes this summer as the Toffees look to make further progress in the Premier League.
While Grealish is attracting interest from Napoli, it remains to be seen whether the Serie A champions are willing to break the bank for him.
Man City may not have plenty of options left towards the end of the window and could potentially opt to make concessions regarding the England international’s exit.
Everton will hope the 29-year-old’s uncertain situation drags on so they can present a proposal to make him their marquee signing.
The Toffees tried to get Liam Delap from Ipswich Town to make him the face of the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but he opted to join Chelsea instead.
Grealish’s prospective move to the Blues would undoubtedly make waves, and will surely transform them into contenders for a European spot in the Premier League.
While the Englishman has several other suitors who can offer him Champions League football, the Merseyside outfit’s supporters still won’t lose hope, as they keep a close eye on the saga.
