The indicators about the departure of the English winger Jacques Grilliche are increasing from Manchester City during the current summer transfer window, after four seasons in the walls of Al -Ittihad stadium, the most prominent of which was his participation in the historic trilogy season.
Conduct negotiations between Manchester City and Everton
The British newspaper “The Attik” reported that Everton has already started its negotiations with Manchester City regarding the borrowing of Jacques Grilliche for one season, in a deal that might constitute a turning point for the player’s march in the Premier League.
The newspaper emphasized that the talks are still in their initial stages, and there are yet no guarantees to complete the deal during the current summer Mercato, in light of the complexity of the financial details related to the player’s contract and high salary.
What is the position of Grilliche’s contract with Manchester City?
Jacques Grillish is associated with a contract with Manchester City that will continue until the summer of 2027, and receives a weekly salary of 300 thousand pounds, which makes his transfer to any loan team a complex financial issue, requires the approval of the three parties: the player, Manchester City, and the club wishing to include it.
Grilliche is 29 years old, and he joined City in a record deal of 100 million pounds from Aston Villa in the summer of 2021.
Was Grilliche the role of Manchester City affected?
Despite his strong start with the team, as he effectively contributed to achieving the historical trilogy in 2023, and participated in 50 games during that season, the influence of Grilliche gradually began to decline, especially in the 2024/2025 season, which witnessed his participation in only 20 games in the Premier League, during which he scored a goal and made another.
This decline in the numbers raised questions within the technical staff of City, which opened the door to the possibility of its exit this summer, whether by loan or final sale in the future.
Why is Everton thinking about the inclusion of Jacques Grilliche?
Everton is seeking to support its ranks with offensive elements that have experience and quality, and sees in Jack Grilliche an ideal option that gives the team solutions in the parties and the playing industry, especially if an agreement is reached that allows sharing the financial burdens of its contract.
Despite the aspirations, negotiations remain difficult, unless Manchester City provides financial flexibility that helps the deal successful.
