Transfer News on Jack Grealish
In a notable development regarding Jack Grealish, Manchester City has not yet received any official proposals for the England international, despite their decision to put him on the transfer list this summer, according to reports from ESPN. Grealish’s absence from Pep Guardiola’s squad for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off in Miami on Saturday, is intended to give him the opportunity to finalize a potential transfer away from the club.
Manchester City’s Upcoming Campaign
Manchester City is set to start their campaign against Wydad AC in Philadelphia on Wednesday, having completed their first training session in Boca Raton, Florida, last Friday. Reports indicate that while clubs, including some from the Premier League, are considering a move for the 29-year-old midfielder, City has yet to receive any formal inquiries.
Contract and Future Options
Grealish remains under contract for another two years, and the club is exploring various options for his potential transfer, including the possibility of a season-long loan arrangement. In related news, the team is also working to offload full-back Kyle Walker, who will not participate in the Club World Cup. After a loan stint with AC Milan last season, the Italian club has confirmed they will not be making his stay permanent. Additionally, Fenerbahce is interested in Walker, while Galatasaray is seeking a right-back but is focused on re-signing Sacha Boey from Bayern Munich instead.
Fan Engagement Initiatives
On another note regarding fan engagement, Manchester City has promised to lower ticket prices in response to last season’s protests by supporters. Some matchday tickets could see price reductions of up to 40%. The club’s fan advisory board, City Matters, expressed their appreciation for this decision, highlighting that it will make attending matches more affordable and enhance the atmosphere at games.
