The summer of 2025 is an important one for Jack Grealish’s career as the 29-year-old would be determined to play regular football in the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup.
Grealish is ready to leave Manchester City and advance his career elsewhere after back-to-back seasons where he has started a mere 17 games in the Premier League.
Despite the former Aston Villa winger not being widely regarded as the superstar he once was, plenty of clubs are still keen on taking a chance on him.
In the Premier League, a move to Tottenham Hotspur appeals to Grealish while Aston Villa and Newcastle United fancy the prospect of signing the Champions League winner as well.
