Revealed: Major hurdle Man City must overcome to offload Jack Grealish this summer as Pep Guardiola looks to push £100m signing out of Etihad

<p>There has been widespread speculation over <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pack-your-bags-jack-grealish-fa-cup-final-snub-last-straw-england-winger-leave-man-city-salvage-career/blt8f5422ef7e04fcc1" target="_blank">Grealish's future at City</a> after he fell down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola in the 2024-25 campaign. He made 20 Premier League appearances and clocked just 715 minutes on the pitch as Guardiola favoured the likes of Savinho and Jeremy Doku in wide areas. Grealish'<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-pep-guardiola-man-city-star-squad-crucial-clash-transfer-talk-continues/bltf2dfac7ac31c4273#cs39f1c1ed531f8564" target="_blank">s omission from City's final matchday squad</a> against Fulham at the weekend added even more fuel to rumours of his imminent exit.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-jack-grealish-future-35289004" target="_blank"><em>Mirror</em></a>, Grealish could look for other opportunities as he wants more game time, while the Cityzens are open to offers for the man they signed from Aston Villa for £100m ($136m) in 2021. However, the biggest hurdle that City will have to overcome is the England international's massive wages. The club would ideally like to part ways with the 28-year-old permanently, but could also be open to the idea of loaning him out.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Guardiola has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pep-guardiola-jack-grealish-leave-man-city-playing-time-denies-feud/blt9bf8c340ad71ca6f" target="_blank">hinted that Grealish could be on his way out</a> as he aims to trim the size of the City squad for next season, but the Catalan coach also denied any suggestion of a rift between him and the former Villa star.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After a rare trophyless campaign, Guardiola is on a mission to rebuild the team and challenge for all the titles once again next year. The Cityzens are currently looking for a replacement for talismanic midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who will part ways with the club after the expiration of his contract this summer.</p>
