Everton Confident in Securing Jack Grealish Despite £50m Asking Price

Everton are confident of securing Jack Grealish permanently, despite Manchester City's £50m asking price, and are eyeing a deal closer to £20m.

Everton have expressed growing confidence that Jack Grealish will stay beyond the current season, even as Manchester City set a £50m option to buy. Grealish’s 22‑game loan spell yielded two goals and six assists, showing a renewed rhythm that has convinced the Merseyside club to pursue a permanent deal. While the asking price is high, Everton’s management believes a figure nearer £20m better reflects the player’s value as his contract nears its end.

The move is part of a broader strategy to rebuild the squad, with manager David Moyes credited for helping Grealish rediscover his form. Everton’s improved financial footing, aided by the move to Hill Dickinson Stadium, gives them flexibility, but the club remains measured in negotiations, balancing ambition with realistic valuation.
