The former Aston Villa playmaker, who joined City for £100m in 2021, rejoined Everton before the most recent summer transfer window concluded. This season, he has registered five Premier League appearances and played in the team’s Carabao Cup third-round victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Prior to his return to Everton, Grealish made appearances as a substitute for City earlier this summer. He featured in their 3-0 Community Shield loss to Arsenal at Wembley and came off the bench during their 2-1 opening-weekend victory against Bournemouth.
