Jack Grealish's 'behaviour' cost him place in Man City team as World Cup winner suggests 'immature' winger has a 'commitment issue'

<p>Grealish struggled for minutes across the 2024-25 campaign, being limited to just seven Premier League starts. His poor form throughout the season also cost him a place in City's Club World Cup squad and he has now been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pep-guardiola-suggests-jack-grealish-must-leave-man-city-club-world-cup-squad/blt309d0d6735e08b50#cs4dc414144d3acbd0" target="_blank">linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium this summer</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ex-Premier League star and World Cup-winning French midfielder Petit accused Grealish of being undisciplined and has claimed that the winger's behaviour has affected his performances and prevented his progress as a player despite being a top talent.</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.talksportbet.com/en-gb/sports" target="_blank"><em>talkSPORTBET</em></a>, Petit said: "Jack Grealish has lost his position with the national team and he has lost the confidence of Pep Guardiola. Since Man City won the Treble, his behaviour during the celebrations and with alcohol was too much. I think he earned a place in the starting XI but he needed to show commitment and desire to keep it. </p><p>"You have to show discipline and I don’t think Grealish did that. He has talent and great ability, but I think he needs to be more mentally mature when you play for top club and earn so much money. With his talent, he should be among the best players in the Premier League every season, I think it’s a commitment issue."</p>

WHAT PETIT SAID

<p>The 29-year-old, who has also lost his place in the England squad, will be aiming to find a way out of City this summer, to get regular game time. He was earlier linked with a switch to Napoli, but the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/transfer-blow-jack-grealish-proposed-napoli-move-hits-major-stumbling-block/bltb623a5998e39866b#cs3c69ca6d632d4a09" target="_blank">proposed move has hit a stumbling block</a> due to his massive wage demands.</p>
