Jack Grealish is heading for his Everton medical this afternoon, with all documents now being finalised.
Jack Grealish is on the verge of sealing a surprise move to Everton, with the 29-year-old Manchester City winger due to undergo his medical this afternoon.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reports that City and Everton have now exchanged all documents for a season-long loan deal. The agreement includes a £50m buy option — not mandatory — giving Everton the chance to make the move permanent next summer if the fit is right.
Significantly, Everton will cover 100% of Grealish’s wages, a major commitment for the Merseyside club as they look to push up the Premier League table under David Moyes.
The England international will have the final say before the deal is officially confirmed, but all indications suggest Grealish is keen to embrace a new challenge after a difficult campaign for game time at City.
If the move goes through, Grealish could be in contention for Everton’s opening fixture — potentially debuting against one of his former clubs, Aston Villa.
Why Everton Want Grealish Now
Moyes has been searching for a creative wide player capable of unlocking tight defences. Grealish’s ball retention, close control and ability to draw fouls make him an ideal candidate to change the rhythm of Everton’s attack.
With European football back on the Toffees’ radar, the addition of an experienced England international could be a statement of intent — and a boost for dressing-room leadership.

Grealish has stayed silent on this latest move, but in an interview earlier this summer he dropped a hint about seeking more minutes.

Analyst Verdict
From reviewing his recent City outings, Grealish has been operating in narrower pockets, often coming inside to link play. Moyes may instead use him as a true touchline winger, stretching defences and giving more space to Everton’s central attackers.
Covering his full wages is a gamble — but one that could pay off if he recaptures his Aston Villa form.

What’s Next
If the medical goes smoothly, Everton are expected to announce Grealish before midweek. David Moyes will then decide whether to fast-track him into the starting XI or ease him in from the bench.
Will Grealish rediscover his best form at Everton — or will the move be a short-term fix?
