Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has opened the door for Jack Grealish to leave the club before the start of the new Premier League season.
Softfootball reports that Guardiola believes the England international should consider his future after a period in which his opportunities have become more limited. Grealish joined City from Aston Villa in a major transfer but has faced increased competition for places.
The midfielder has played an important role during his time at the Etihad, contributing to City’s domestic and European campaigns. However, changes within the squad and the emergence of other attacking options have affected his regular involvement.
Guardiola’s comments could therefore trigger significant interest from clubs looking for an experienced Premier League player. Grealish remains technically gifted and brings considerable top-level experience, making him an attractive option if City decide to allow a transfer.
For City, a departure would create room for further squad adjustments as Guardiola continues to reshape his team. The club will have to determine whether a suitable offer arrives and whether Grealish wants to pursue another challenge.
The player’s future is now likely to become one of the transfer stories to follow during the summer. Further transfer updates are expected soon.
