Jack Grealish of Manchester City
AC Milan have added Jack Grealish to their list of targets late in the summer window, according to a report from England.
It has been reported by several sources that Ruben Amorim hopes to welcome another attacking midfielder before the mercato closes in less than one week. A range of targets have been linked, from Brahim Diaz and Matias Soule to Ethan Nwaneri and most recently Fer Lopez.

Leao out, Grealish in?
Now, Football Insider are reporting that Manchester City’s forgotten man Jack Grealish is a target for the Rossoneri management, with Everton having ‘cooled their interest’ in bringing him back on a permanent basis.
They state that Milan ‘will need the fee to be sub-£10million to be able to complete a deal’, despite the fact they have already spent €150m on Goncalo Ramos, Mario Gila and Diego Moreira.

Grealish came off the bench and played 14 minutes in City’s 2-1 comeback win over Bournemouth at the weekend, but a starting spot looks a long way off. Despite this, he could choose to ‘stay at the Etihad to fight for a place under Enzo Maresca’.
Last season he headed to Everton and started well, with two goals and six assists in his first 22 appearances. However, he then got a foot injury, while the report adds that David Moyes was ‘left unimpressed with Grealish’s off-field antics as he sat on the sidelines’.
Grealish – who also had four goals in 39 caps for his national team – is seen as a replacement for Rafael Leao, who could be heading to his former club Aston Villa in the final few days of the market.
