Everton announce Jack Grealish's arrival | OneFootball

Jack Grealish has joined Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City, with the deal including an option to make the move permanent for around £50 million (€57.7m).

City originally paid a British record £100 million to sign the midfielder from Aston Villa in 2021, tying him down to a six-year contract at the time.

During his spell at the Etihad, Grealish has lifted three Premier League titles, a Champions League, the FA Cup and the Club World Cup. He was a key part of City’s historic treble-winning side in 2022/23, making 50 appearances across all competitions and starting every Champions League knockout match.

Last season, though, chances were limited as the 29-year-old started just 16 of his 32 appearances in all competitions.

At the Toffees, Grealish will take the No. 18 shirt and becomes David Moyes’ sixth summer recruit, following the permanent signing of Carlos Alcaraz and the arrivals of Thierno Barry, Mark Travers, Adam Aznou, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Speaking to evertontv, Grealish said: "I'm over the moon to have signed for Everton - It's massive for me, honestly. This is a great club, with great fans.

"As soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place that I wanted to go. On social media, I've been flooded with messages from Everton supporters, so there's that side of it as well and that's another reason why I chose Everton.

"I want to say thank you to the fans for all of the messages I've had already. Thank you for all of the love and support. I hope I can repay you now and I'm sure I will."
