Jack Grealish’s future at Manchester City appears uncertain, with reports suggesting Newcastle United is interested in signing the England international. However, Grealish hasn’t publicly commented on any potential move to Newcastle United or the reasons behind his decision.
*Current Situation at Manchester City*
Grealish’s time at Manchester City hasn’t quite lived up to expectations since his £100 million transfer from Aston Villa in 2021. Despite winning several titles, including three Premier League titles, the Champions League, and the FA Cup, he’s struggled to find consistency in his form. City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed sympathy for Grealish’s lack of game time, and his representatives are reportedly exploring options for a potential transfer.¹
*Newcastle United Interest*
Newcastle United, under manager Eddie Howe, is looking to strengthen their squad and might consider signing Grealish as a backup attacker or to provide cover for Alexander Isak. However, Alan Shearer, a Newcastle United legend, believes Grealish might not be the best fit for the team, citing the player’s struggles in finding his form and the team’s existing strength on the left side with players like Harvey Barnes and Anthony Gordon.
*Potential Reasons for Grealish’s Decision*
If Grealish were to consider joining Newcastle United, several factors might influence his decision² ³:
– *Playing Time*: Grealish might seek more regular playing time, which could be a challenge at Manchester City with the team’s current squad dynamics.
– *Career Revival*: A move to Newcastle could be an opportunity for Grealish to revive his career, especially if he feels stuck at Manchester City.
– *Financial Considerations*: Grealish’s weekly wage of £300,000 might be a factor in his decision, as Newcastle United might not be able to match his current salary.
*Alternative Options*
Other clubs, such as Everton, might also be interested in signing Grealish. Alan Shearer suggests that Grealish could thrive at Everton, providing him with a fresh start and more opportunities to play regularly.
Ultimately, without a direct statement from Jack Grealish, it’s difficult to determine his true intentions regarding a potential move to Newcastle United. The player’s future remains uncertain, with various factors influencing his potential decision.

‘Newcastle decision made on Jack Grealish move
Newcastle have reached a decision on moving for Man City winger Jack Grealish following uncertainty around the future Anthony Gordon.

But despite the bulging trophy cabinet, the former Aston Villa man has struggled to find the form that made him so sought-after.
Football Insider revealed on 22 May that Grealish does not expect to be at City next season, as the winger believes he has been “frozen out” by Pep Guardiola.
Plenty of clubs have been linked with a move for the England international, who is still held in high regard, despite scoring just once in the Premier League last season.
Mick Brown revealed to Football Insider exclusively that Newcastle could make a move to sign Grealish this summer, if Gordon were to join Liverpool after a potential return to Merseyside last summer fell through.

Newcastle have ‘no interest’ in Man City ace Jack Grealish
As reported, despite the links to the North East, Newcastle currently have “no interest” in signing Grealish.
This is attributed to the fact that Eddie Howe’s side already have two fantastic left-wingers in Gordon and Harvey Barnes.
What’s more, Newcastle are said to be unwilling to pay “Grealish-level wages”, especially when considering the England star is 29 years old.

Jack Grealish facing uncertain future ahead of Man City exit
Football Insider Verdict
With a move to Newcastle seemingly now off the table, Grealish is facing an uncertain future this summer.
The former Villa man finds himself in a similar situation to fellow England internationals Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling.
Clubs and managers are well aware of the trio’s talent, but with high wages and a lack of consistency in their performances, signing them is an unappealing risk.

With a World Cup on the horizon, Grealish may well push for a loan move this summer if he cannot secure a permanent exit from City.
However, with two years remaining on his contract, that would only be a temporary fix to the issue and one that may not appeal to the Sky Blues, who are looking to fund a sizeable rebuild of their squad this summer.
