Report: Sources offer early verdict after Everton's opening talks with Jack Grealish

Everton are looking to really focus their attention in the transfer window over the coming weeks.

David Moyes has shared his transfer frustrations during the recent pre-season tour of the United States.

The Toffees have endured a tricky summer transfer window so far, but there is still plenty of time to get things right.

Everton’s opener against Leeds United is a matter of days away now, and more additions are needed to bolster the quality of the squad.

Jack Grealish is a player of interest at Everton, as the Toffees look to add to their attacking options.

It has been suggested that Tottenham Hotspur have now enquired about Grealish following the injury to James Maddison.

However, Everton want to put up a fight of their own.

The 29-year-old is in need of a new club, and Everton are now doing their part to land the former England international on loan.

According to David Ornstein, Everton have entered talks to sign Grealish on loan for the 2025/26 campaign.

However, the respected journalist’s sources are caveating the development with the expectation for this to be a difficult deal for Everton to pull off.

The finances involved are likely the issue which Everton are set to face.

Grealish has been welcomed back to Man City training, but his future remains away from the Etihad Stadium this summer.

It is going to be a difficult one for Angus Kinnear to pull off, but it is a huge positive that Everton have opened talks over the winger.

Everton focused on Grealish after Tyler Dibling setback

Everton’s interest in Grealish has stepped up after Southampton made a huge demand of £50m for Tyler Dibling.

With a huge asking price slapped on the youngster, Everton have made the smart decision to walk away from a deal.

However, Moyes is keen to sign a new winger for Everton, with Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom now departed.

What will be interesting to see is what percentage of Grealish’s wages could be covered by his current side.

After all, it has been claimed that Man City could demand up to £12m in loan fees for Grealish.
