In the days leading up to the summer transfer window, Jack Grealish, a star player for Manchester City, has been linked with a surprising club.
The transfer of Grealish from his boyhood club, Aston Villa, to City for a reported fee of one hundred million pounds occurred during the summer of 2021. This transaction was the most expensive transfer of an English player in the history of the sport.
Since then, the 29-year-old has had a difficult time regaining his previous level of performance.
Grealish has only made 151 appearances for City so far, and he has only managed to score 16 goals.
In a total of 26 matches across all competitions, the Englishman has only managed to score two goals and provide five assists so far this season.
As a consequence of this, Grealish has been reported to be considering a transfer away from City prior to the summer transfer window opens.
It has been reported by Give Me Sport that Tottenham Hotspur, a club competing in the Premier League, have expressed interest in acquiring Grealish.
The following is an excerpt from the report: “Jack Grealish’s valuation and ongoing role at Manchester City are being evaluated, and the club is anticipating that suitors will knock on the door this summer, with Tottenham being among those most interested parties.”
“Tottenham are being linked with a surprise move this summer, and explorations into that have been interesting.”
There was ‘never a real chance’ of a deal taking place during the winter, despite the fact that Spurs were rumoured to have shown interest during the transfer window that took place in January.
In addition, the report stated that although Spurs’ interest in Grealish is genuine, it is contingent upon City’s valuation being more reasonable than it has been over the course of the previous year.
According to reports, Spurs’ star players are not allowed to earn more than £200,000 per week due to the severe wage structure that the club has in place.
It has been asserted that Grealish is currently earning approximately 300,000 pounds per week at City, which may provide a potential obstacle for this situation.
In addition to Spurs, it has been reported that AC Milan, a major player in the Italian Serie A, is also interested in the Englishman.
Since the beginning of the season, Spurs have had a season that they will never forget, as they are currently in 14th place in the Premier League.
The pressure that is being put on the club’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, to turn around the club’s fortunes is increasing.
