Jack Grealish makes confession to Man City fans when asked about his future as England star edges closer to shock move away

Jack Grealish has sent a message direct to Manchester City fans as reports suggest that he is approaching his final days at the club.

Back in August 2021, Grealish joined City from boyhood club Aston Villa in a then British record deal worth £100million.

Since then the Englishman has been a key player for Pep Guardiola's side, making 157 appearances and playing a significant role in the side that won the treble in the 2022-23 season.

However, after he appeared to fall out of favour last season, where he made 32 appearances, many of which were off the bench, recent reports have suggested that he could be sold this summer.

And now, Grealish has sent a clear message to Manchester City fans and it could provide some insight into his future plans.

Nearly 16 years after they split up, Manchester's own Oasis embarked on a comeback tour earlier this month, with their first gig in their home city taking place on Friday night in Heaton Park.

Of course, several of City's big names were at the concert, including manager Guardiola and Grealish, who took the time to speak to some fans after the gig about the club.

In a clip posted on social media, the forward, who appears to have had a couple of drinks, told City fans: "I love City more than anything! And do you know what I love more than anything? City fans! They’re the best fans in the world!”

Reacting to the clip, one fan wrote: "Him being drunk makes it more genuine as you speak truthfully when drunk."

While one wrote: "We love him. We do. And we know he loves us. All we need is consistency. And maybe a pay cut."

Grealish's passionate message to City and the fans comes after he was linked with three massive sides in recent days.

As it stands, Grealish is under contract with City until June 2027, on a deal that is seeing him take him home £300,000 per week.

With that in mind, it is believe that the club currently values the 29-year-old at around £40m, leading to interest from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Napoli.

However, it has been reported that Grealish's wages mean that it is currently more likely that he will leave the club on loan rather than a permanent deal, despite his hopes to stay and fight for his place in Guardiola's squad.

And it appears that the City boss is open to letting the Englishman leave this summer as, after leaving him out of City's squad for the Club World Cup, Guardiola spoke about Grealish's lack of minutes.

He said: “Of course Jack has to play. He’s an unbelievable player that has to play football every three days. It didn’t happen this season and last season either.

“He needs to do it. With us or another place. It’s a question for Jack, his agent and the club.”
