Everton have expressed confidence that they can secure Jack Grealish on a permanent basis, even though Manchester City has set a £50m option to buy. The Toffees are reportedly aiming for a figure closer to £20m, citing the player’s final year of contract and their improved financial position after moving to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Grealish’s 22‑game loan spell saw him score two goals and provide six assists, while his partnership with manager David Moyes has helped him rediscover his rhythm. The midfielder’s £300,000‑a‑week wage and a recent stress‑fracture injury are also key factors in the negotiations.
