Fabrizio Romano: Everton ‘in advanced talks’ with Manchester City over Jack Grealish loan | OneFootball

Everton are moving closer to bringing Jack Grealish back, dealing a blow to Sunderland’s ambitious attempt to land the Manchester City attacking midfielder.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Everton are in advanced talks with Manchester City and that Grealish wants the switch, though discussions remain ongoing. The situation could still change.

Everton are understood to be in advanced talks to sell Iliman Ndiaye to Spurs, with Richarlison moving to Everton in a separate transfer. That would create a vacancy on the wing, and the club are pushing for a fresh loan for Grealish.

Grealish is understood to have made clear he wants to return to Everton after last season’s loan. After a slow summer, momentum is building ahead of Tuesday’s 11pm deadline.

Sunderland remain active and hope to strengthen before the cut-off, with Igor Paixao a primary target. The Marseille forward is open to the move, but talks with the Ligue 1 club continue and there is no agreement yet.

The Black Cats would also ideally like to add another defender, with Kevin Danso an option, and Le Bris has heavily hinted he wants another versatile forward.
