Jack Grealish is poised to sign for Everton on loan after agreeing to leave Manchester City in an attempt to revive his stalled career. Everton’s interest in the City midfielder was reciprocated over the weekend with Grealish accepting the opportunity to join Everton in their first season at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The 29-year-old is due to undergo a medical on Monday.
City are looking to recoup most of Grealish’s £300,000-a-week wages and Everton’s outlay could be more than £12m after a loan fee.

The £100m signing from Aston Villa has been effectively frozen out at City by Pep Guardiola and was not included in his 27-man squad for the Club World Cup.
Nottingham Forest are closer to signing midfielder James McAtee from City. A worth £25m was rejected by City last month, but Forest have increased their offer.
McAtee won the European Under-21 Championship with England in June, but is not part of Guardiola’s plans. He made 15 Premier League appearances last season, scoring three times, but the academy graduate has never been at regular at the Etihad Stadium. McAtee had interest from Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund, but was eager to stay in England.
Forest are also keen to add a striker, full-back and central midfielder. Regarding midfielders they maintain interest in Monaco’s Soungoutou Magassa and Milan’s Yunus Musah, and Liverpool’s Kostas Tsimikas is a potential defensive reinforcement.
Savinho could also be heading for a City exit after Tottenham Hotspur registered an interest in the winger. Preliminary talks have been held over the 21-year-old, who joined City from Girona last summer. It is expected to take at least £50m for City to consider selling the Brazilian. Spurs are looking for attacking reinforcements after missing out on Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White and losing James Maddison to a long-term knee injury.
Any outgoings may be followed by City looking to strengthen their options in the final third. They are understood to be considering a hijack of Chelsea’s pursuit of RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons. Chelsea have held talks with Leipzig over the Netherlands international but have not made progress on a fee and want to sell players before lodging a bid.
