Grealish snubs Napoli for Everton: deal done, medical set | OneFootball

Jack Grealish will remain in the Premier League. After weeks of uncertainty and market rumors, the Manchester City winger — also linked to Napoli, although without concrete confirmations — has accepted Everton's proposal.

No Napoli, Grealish chooses Everton: agreement with Manchester City and medical visits scheduled

According to reports from transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, the agreement between the Toffees and the English champion club has been defined on the basis of a loan. Medical visits are scheduled for today, and the transfer could be official within the next 24 hours.

A choice of continuity in England Sidelined by Pep Guardiola in recent weeks, Grealish preferred to stay at home rather than face a new adventure abroad. Everton, in search of experienced and quality reinforcements for the new season, managed to convince the player with a technical project aimed at relaunching him as a protagonist.

From the limelight to the difficult moment Once considered the "golden boy" of English football, Grealish is going through a delicate phase of his career. His style of play, technical and creative, has given way to different tactical needs in Manchester City's system. The past summer marked the final break: while most of his teammates were engaged in the Club World Cup, the former Aston Villa captain was training alone or with a personal trainer. A situation that prompted City to open to a temporary sale.

The analogy with famous stories of British football has not gone unnoticed: as reported by the Times, Grealish's parable reminds of other talents who, despite starting with very high expectations, had to deal with the risk of being sidelined too soon. Grealish's arrival represents a prestigious operation for the Liverpool club. At 29, the English winger still has the technical baggage and the experience necessary to make a difference in the Premier League, especially in a team that needs quality in the three-quarters. Under the guidance of David Moyes, the goal will be to regain continuity and incisiveness, elements that have faded in recent months but that, under the right conditions, could re-emerge.
