Fabrizio Romano shares what he’s now heard about Jack Grealish future amid Tottenham and Newcastle links
Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have been linked with Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish in recent weeks.
TBR Football revealed just before the opening January transfer window that Grealish is indeed a player who Tottenham admire.
Indeed, Spurs have liked Grealish for some time now and consider him a player who can improve their team.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reported that Newcastle have been eyeing the England international alongside Tottenham.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has shared the latest on Grealish’s present and future amid links with the likes of Spurs and Newcastle.
Jack Grealish ‘no longer untouchable’ at Manchester City
Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, reiterated that the prospect of Jack Grealish leaving Man City in 2025 has been in the air since the start of the season.
The transfer insider also said Grealish has been nothing but a consummate professional at the Etihad Stadium, causing no problems or issues at the club.
However, Romano stressed that Grealish is “no longer untouchable” and that a potential move away from the Etihad Stadium is very much on the cards in a few months’ time.
“In general guys, since the start of the season, the feeling for summer 2025 was for Jack Grealish to have concrete chances to leave Manchester (City),” said Romano.
“Let me say that my information is that Jack Grealish is giving his best for Manchester City.
“He’s not desperate to leave the club, he’s not creating any issues or any problems, so top professional.
Also great relationship with all his teammates, never creates any problem, so this is highly rated by Manchester City, very happy with his attitude.
“But in terms of future we have to be attentive to the situation of Jack Grealish because in case of a good proposal for the player and for the club in the summer, there is a chance for Jack Grealish to go.
“He’s no longer untouchable for Manchester City and is a situation to watch for the summer transfer window.
“At the moment there is nothing really concrete but it’s just a feeling at Manchester City that there could be some movement in that position with Jack Grealish potentially involved.”
Where Jack Grealish could play for Tottenham
If Grealish – who Michael Dawson has deemed ‘magnificent’ – can rediscover his top form, he’d be a star for any side.
Tottenham actually came close to signing Grealish a few years ago, but the deal fell through at the last minute.
Now, Spurs may have the opportunity to sign him again, and he’d be a versatile option for them were that to happen.
Grealish has largely been utilised on the left wing at Man City, meaning he could potentially cover for – or replace – Son Heung-min at Tottenham.
He has also featured at No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 on a handful of occasions, showing he can also do a job there covering for the likes of Dominic Solanke, Richarlison and James Maddison.
At Villa, Grealish was mostly used at No. 10 and, considering how dazzling he was when in claret and blue, this would no doubt be food for thought for Ange Postecoglou.
Man City paid £100million for Grealish in 2021, but it remains to be seen whether he’d command a similar fee were he to be sold in the summer.
Jack Grealish’s tenure at Manchester City has been a focal point of discussion since his record-breaking £100 million transfer from Aston Villa in August 2021.
As the most expensive British footballer, expectations were immense. Recently, speculation has intensified regarding his future at the Etihad Stadium, with clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United reportedly expressing interest. Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided insights into these rumors, shedding light on Grealish’s current standing and potential trajectory.
Grealish’s Journey at Manchester City
Upon his arrival, Grealish was anticipated to be a transformative addition to Pep Guardiola’s squad. His flair, vision, and ability to navigate tight spaces were seen as perfect complements to City’s possession-based style. However, his adaptation has been mixed. While contributing to City’s successes, including a Premier League title and a Champions League final appearance, Grealish has faced challenges in consistently influencing games. The emergence of Jeremy Doku has further intensified competition for the left-wing position, leading to reduced playing time for Grealish.
Speculations of a Move
The combination of Grealish’s fluctuating form and increased competition has led to rumors about a potential departure. Reports have linked him to clubs seeking to bolster their attacking options, notably Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. These clubs view Grealish as a valuable asset who could provide creativity and experience.
Fabrizio Romano’s Insights
Addressing these speculations, Fabrizio Romano has emphasized that, as of now, there are no active discussions or plans for Grealish to leave Manchester City. Romano states, “At the moment, it’s completely quiet. I think he could stay at the club. I don’t think they want to change too much in that position.”
Romano further elaborates that both the club and Grealish are focused on their current objectives, and there is no indication of an impending transfer. He notes, “Manchester City are not discussing Grealish’s future, not even internally at this point of the season. It’s all quiet.”
Grealish’s Perspective
From Grealish’s standpoint, the primary focus remains on contributing to Manchester City’s ambitions. Despite the challenges, he has expressed a desire to fight for his place and prove his worth. His contract, which runs until 2027, underscores the long-term commitment both he and the club envisioned.
Conclusion
While external interest from clubs like Tottenham and Newcastle is plausible, especially given Grealish’s proven Premier League pedigree, Fabrizio Romano’s insights suggest that a move is not imminent. Both Manchester City and Grealish appear committed to their partnership, aiming to navigate the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead. As the football landscape is ever-evolving, only time will reveal how Grealish’s journey unfolds.
