Everton and Newcastle United are leading the race to sign Man City star Jack Grealish this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

The 29-year-old wants to leave City in the off-season after being excluded from their Club World Cup squad.

Overseas clubs are expected to join Premier League sides in the chase for Grealish – who has fallen out of favour at the Etihad Stadium.

However, it is believed a deal will be difficult to do for any interested club. Sources say a loan deal, with City covering a portion of the winger’s wages, is the “most likely” outcome.

Grealish ‘most likely’ to leave Man City on loan

Grealish earns huge money with Pep Guardiola‘s side but is still seen as a top performer by potential suitors and could reignite his career with a move this summer.

The player is keen to feature regularly at any new club ahead of the World Cup in North America next year.
