Everton have expressed growing confidence that Jack Grealish will stay on Merseyside beyond the current loan, even though Manchester City has set a £50m option to buy. The club believes a lower figure, closer to £20m, would better reflect the player’s value as his contract nears its end.
Grealish’s 22 appearances for Everton have seen him score two goals and provide six assists, while his style has flourished under manager David Moyes. The midfielder’s resurgence has been credited to Moyes’ pragmatic approach, which has helped the player rediscover his rhythm.
