Manchester City could listen to offers for Jack Grealish this summer amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur are scouring the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window amid the uncertain futures of Son Heung-min, Richarlison and Timo Werner.
Richarlison’s injury problems seem no stopping as he continues be to be sidelined with a calf issue. Werner has barely performed since re-signing for Spurs and will return to RB Leipzig once his loan deal expires. Meanwhile, Son’s powers have been visibly waning, and there are chances of this season being his last in a Spurs shirt.
The decision-makers at N17 have reportedly put the trio on the chopping block, and should they leave, the club must replace them adequately in the squad. The Lilywhites have been linked with a move for Manchester City star Jack Grealish.

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham want Man City winger Jack Grealish
Jack Grealish was bought by Manchester City in the summer of 2021 for a record £100million from Aston Villa. He did play a key role in the Cityzens’ treble success during the 2022/23 season and was simply untouchable under Pep Guardiola.
However, the England international has seen his stock plummet in the last couple of seasons owing to persistent injury problems and a lack of consistency. The Birmingham-based attacker isn’t a regular starter for Guardiola’s side, with injuries limiting him to only 16 Premier League appearances so far this term.
Now, according to an exclusive report from GIVEMESPORT, Man City are expecting suitors to knock at the door this summer amid interest from Tottenham. The Etihad Stadium chiefs are assessing the player’s valuation and ongoing role under Guardiola, with an exit dependent on how much they could get for the English winger.
Will Daniel Levy be ready to splash the cash for Jack Grealish?
The 29-year-old is currently earning around £300,000 per week at City, so it would take a massive outlay from any club to prize him away. Tottenham’s tight wage structure means the only way they could sign Grealish is when he reduces his hefty wages. And as he will be turning 30 in September, the North London outfit have to be mindful of investing a fee plus wages on his services.

It would take an enticing offer from Spurs to land Grealish given that his contract at City runs through to June 2027, which would ensure that his current employers have the upper hand in any potential transfer negotiations.
Considering his hefty wages, patchy injury record, age and dip in performance levels, the ex-Aston Villa skipper’s signing could be a backward step. Instead, the club must stick to their philosophy of recruiting young talents with bags of potential to replace the likes of Son, Richarlison and Werner this summer.
