Jack Grealish struggles at Manchester City have deepened, with the 29-year-old left on the bench during City 5-1 defeat to Arsenal. He has started just six of his 15 Premier League appearances this season, scoring two goals and providing four assists in 22 matches across competitions. With competition from new signings Savinho and Omar Marmoush, ex-Middlesbrough midfielder Gaizka Mendieta suggested Grealish could thrive in La Liga. Reports indicate Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, Tottenham, Newcastle, and Aston Villa are monitoring his situation.
In the midst of Manchester City’s struggles, Jack Grealish’s role in the team has diminished significantly. The 29-year-old was left on the bench during City’s humiliating 5-1 loss to Arsenal, as well as their recent Champions League victory over Club Brugge and a 3-1 win against Chelsea. Despite being City’s record signing at £100 million in 2021, Grealish has started only six of his 15 Premier League appearances this season, contributing just two goals and four assists in 22 games across all competitions.
Former Middlesbrough and Valencia midfielder Gaizka Mendieta believes Grealish would thrive in Spain, citing the growing adaptability of English players to La Liga’s style of play. Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, Tottenham, Newcastle, and Aston Villa have all reportedly monitored his situation. However, Manchester City’s recent signings, including 19-year-old Brazilian winger Savinho and Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, have further limited his opportunities.
Manager Pep Guardiola has openly challenged Grealish to improve, stating that Savinho is currently in better form. As City continues to evolve, Grealish faces a crucial decision regarding his future, with Spain emerging as a potential destination where he could revive his career.
