Pep Guardiola made the brutal decision to leave Grealish out of his 27-man squad for the Club World Cup in the United States this summer. City shelled out £100million for him in 2021 and he still has two years left on a deal which bags him around £300, 000 every week before tax. And The Guardian reports that City will listen to loan offers for the 29-year-old if nobody can commit to buying him. Grealish, a likeable figure who was an important figure in City's Treble-winning 2022-23 campaign, only made seven Premier League starts last campaign. England manager Thomas Tuchel has told the winger that he must be playing more to earn a place in his plans, having left him out of his first two squads. Manchester City have reportedly received no offers for Jack Grealish, so he may go on loan Pep Guardiola has left the £300, 000-per-week star out of his Club World Cup travelling party Grealish admitted he was 'heartbroken' to be left out of Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 squad, calling it 'the most difficult thing I have had to deal with in my career'. He had emotional moments last season, including in April when he scored against Leicester on the 25th anniversary of his baby brother's death, breaking a 16-month Premier League goal drought in the process. All four of City's summer signings so far - Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait Nouri and Marcus Bettinelli - are part of the travelling squad for the Club World Cup, but Grealish is not. He is understood to have been left out so he can find a new club to join this summer. Clubs in Europe and England, including Everton, are expected to be interested in the playmaker. However, the fact that many are grappling with profit and sustainability issues may point to the likelihood of a loan deal, rather than a permanent move for a man who cost City £100m when he signed from Aston Villa for a British record fee in 2021. The Sun also reported that Bayer Leverkusen were a contender to sign him and they will need a new attacking star given Florian Wirtz's impending move to Liverpool. After Grealish was left out of City’s final Premier League fixture at Fulham, Guardiola said that officials would work with the player and his representatives to find a solution that suited both sides. Meanwhile, Kyle Walker won't play for City again after leaving the club on loan in January, joining AC Milan. His contract runs until the end of next season, but it is understood he will leave this summer after he fathered two children with Lauryn Goodman while being married to Annie Kilner. Fenerbahce are possible suitors for the 35-year-old.
