The 31-year-old's future has been a major talking point on Merseyside after he was left out of David Moyes' squad for disciplinary reasons.
While the manager has openly stated that the situation can be repaired, Football Insider can reveal that Moyes had in any case been reluctant to re-sign the winger in the summer.
The deal only went through at the end of the window after the Everton boss ran out of options, and with the club's owners unwilling to sanction a big fee for a permanent signing in Grealish's position.
The 2026-27 campaign has been far more difficult for the City loanee, who has struggled to regain fitness and match sharpness following the injury that kept him sidelined for most of last season.
Grealish missed back-to-back games against Newcastle United, and it is now understood that his conduct is making reintegration difficult at Finch Farm.
Football Insider revealed in mid-September that the player was eyeing a permanent switch to Merseyside, but that is now looking very unlikely.
Could Jack Grealish feature vs Coventry City?
Grealish has not made an appearance since the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea, having also not been included in the squad to face Arsenal either.
The Toffees have dealt well without the Man City loanee, knocking Newcastle out of the Carabao Cup before dealing another blow to the Magpies.
So far, it has been unclear whether the 31-year-old could feature against Coventry City on Friday, 6 November.
The latest is that Moyes is willing to bring him back into the fold should he be fit enough, but the player hasn't been training as much as he should be.
This may allow the likes of Tyrique George and Tyler Dibling to shine. However, it's a frustration situation in an already difficult season for the Toffees.
How do his Everton teammates feel?
Grealish should be seen as one of the more experienced players in the squad, but he's currently causing more problems than he's fixing.
Mick Brown told Football Insider that a number of his teammates have been left unhappy by his actions.
It has been suggested that this is one of the reasons that Man City are so inclined to get rid of him permanently, rather than extend his contract.
As it stands, Grealish's career could be left in limbo, with Everton not sure about keeping him on, and his Man City contract expiring in the summer.
