Jack Grealish has returned to Everton on loan for the second consecutive season, signaling the likely end of his time at Manchester City. The 30-year-old winger, who was on loan at Everton last season, has expressed his appreciation for manager David Moyes and the support he received from the club and its fans. This move comes as Grealish is in the final year of his contract at Manchester City and is expected to leave the club on a free transfer when his contract expires.
Grealish joined Everton on loan last season and quickly made an impact, making four assists in his first two starts. He was named Premier League Player of the Month for August before an injury forced him to miss the rest of the season in January. His return to Everton this summer marks him as the second player to switch between the two clubs on deadline day, following Iliman Ndiaye’s move to Manchester City for an initial £60 million. Grealish is now Everton’s sixth summer signing.
In an emotional statement, Grealish said, "It feels so good. I'm so happy. I think I'm at my best in everything in life when I feel loved. That's what the manager has given me, what my teammates have given me, and especially what the fans have given me. Every time I see an Everton fan, it's just pure love, and the way they've welcomed me since that first game against Leeds, I'll never forget that. It means a lot to me, and hopefully, I've made a few Everton fans happy."
He also praised Moyes, saying, "I love him, the manager. I think he’s such a great guy. He was a big reason why I wanted to come back here as well. I’ve had certain managers in the past where I feel I’ve played my best football under them – and he falls into that category, for sure." Grealish expressed his readiness to return to action after watching Everton’s pre-season and the start of the new campaign, confident that he is now fully prepared to contribute to the team.
