The England international, 29, has opted to soak up the sun after being omitted from Pep Guardiola's Manchester City squad for the Club World Cup. But while he may be topping up his tan, his bank account is now a little lighter after being tricked into forking out for a guest. A video posted on Tik Tok by Patric Persson shows the prankster being handed a bill which he then takes over to Grealish as the City winger relaxes by the pool. Persson then asks Grealish for his autograph and he is happy to oblige, but does not realise that he is actually signing for the bill. Grealish and Persson shake hands, before the latter returns to the bill to the waiter, having seemingly got Grealish to pay for whatever he ordered. Such a generous guy @Jack Grealish ? ? Jack Grealish was seemingly conned into paying a fan's bill after thinking he was signing an autograph Grealish has been enjoying the sun in Greece after being left out of Man City's Club World Cup squad Grealish is expected to leave City this summer after falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola It seems Grealish was unaware of the joke, but he may have been willing to pay for the bill himself anyway, having previously shown his generous side earlier this year. Mail Online revealed in March how Grealish stunned regulars in a Sunderland social club by paying £500 towards a drinks tab for everyone at the bar. Grealish was later seen stumbling out of a Newcastle nightclub, and has endured a difficult last few months that has seen him fall out of favour at City. He was an unused substitute in City's FA Cup final defeat by Crystal Palace, and then failed to make the squad for the final Premier League game of the season at Fulham. After sealing a Champions League spot without Grealish, Guardiola was asked about the winger's future but refused to give a direct answer. However, he did state that he wants a smaller squad next season, indicating that fringe players such as Grealish are likely to be moved on. City have already signed Rayan Ait-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki and Marcus Bettinelli this month, and are expected to start offloading players in the coming weeks. This could see Grealish head towards the exit door after four years at the Etihad, and Napoli could offer him an escape route. The Serie A champions are reportedly interested in signing a left winger this summer after losing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG in January, and have reportedly shown interest in bringing in either Grealish or Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho.
