A recent report has claimed that Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish would be willing to end his career at the Etihad Stadium in order to join Newcastle United.
The 29-year-old England international has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under Pep Guardiola, and his representatives believe that a move to Newcastle could be the ideal opportunity to reignite his career.
Grealish became the most expensive Englishman in history when he joined Manchester City from Aston Villa for £100m in 2021.
Despite winning the Premier League title in his first season, he admitted that he found the transition to City more difficult than expected.
However, he bounced back in the 2022/23 campaign, playing a key role in the team’s Champions League and Premier League triumphs.
However, Grealish’s career has stalled somewhat in recent times. He has found himself regularly relegated to the substitutes’ bench, with Guardiola challenging him to “compete” and “prove” himself in order to earn more playing time.
With the likes of Savinho and Jeremy Doku providing stiff competition, Grealish’s representatives believe that a move to Newcastle could provide him with the opportunity to play regular football and potentially earn an England recall for the 2026 World Cup.
According to Chronicle Live, Grealish’s representatives see playing for Newcastle under Eddie Howe as the ideal opportunity for him to reignite his career.
With Newcastle having won the Carabao Cup, the team is on the up, and Grealish could be the perfect addition to help them push on to even greater heights.
A move to Newcastle would also provide Grealish with the opportunity to play regular football, which could be crucial in helping him to earn an England recall for the 2026 World Cup.
With the tournament being staged in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, Grealish will be eager to be a part of Thomas Tuchel’s squad and help England to success on the biggest stage.
