Manchester City were starting to get very worried that Jack Grealish might not be able to find a new club, and even decided to drop loan offers due to a lack of interest. However, the Citzens finally found a club interested in doing business with the player.
After signing Kevin de Bruyne and presenting the Belgian as their main investment in their quest to win back-to-back league titles, Manchester City are now on the verge of completing the sale of Jack Grealish to Napoli. The latest reports indicate that the 29-year-old is a 100% personal desire of coach Antonio Conte, who remained at the Italian club after their Serie A triumph.
It's worth noting that Jack Grealish was cut from Pep Guardiola's squad for the Club World Cup and could well be out of Manchester City's plans. However, the Citzens will apparently have to lower their asking price to close the deal, as Napoli don't understand that the player is still worth 45 million pounds on the market
As a result, Manchester City will have to start negotiations by considering lowering their initial asking price. Otherwise, Napoli have signaled that they will refocus their efforts on signing Alejandro Garnacho, a left winger who is no longer part of Manchester United's plans.
Grealish has always been below Manchester City's expectations
Jack Grealish arrived under huge expectations when Manchester City paid 117.5 million euros for Aston Villa. However, the player, who will turn 30 in September and has an active contract until June 2027, has never lived up to the expectations placed on him and is close to a melancholy end in the Citzens' shirt. Grealish must therefore hope that Napoli sign him and that he gets another chance away from England, where the pressure is always greater than in other European leagues
