Jack Grealish pockets staggering £15M bonus amid Manchester City doubts | OneFootball

Manchester City forward Jack Grealish has made an incredible £15 million earning from his image rights firm Kelandan Ltd.

Grealish, 29, is currently on loan at Everton for regular playing opportunities as he looks to break into Thomas Tuchel’s England squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having been snubbed by the German coach in his first three sides as Three Lions boss.

Since joining Manchester City for a club-record £100 million from Aston Villa in 2021, Grealish has won two Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.

However, after making just seven Premier League starts last term, the former Aston Villa captain has moved to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to revitalise his career and force his way into Tuchel’s thinking ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Tuchel has made it clear that while he rates Grealish very highly, the Birmingham-born attacker needs to be playing and flourishing at club level to stake a claim in the highly competitive England squad.

After playing a starring role in Manchester City’s historic 2022-23 treble season, Grealish has failed to kick on and inconsistencies in form and fitness have shoved the forward down Pep Guardiola’s pecking order.

City have revamped their squad this summer under the stewardship of newly-appointed director of football Hugo Viana, with the board trimming their wage bill and offloading several first-team stars who have failed to live up to expectations in recent seasons.

Grealish has joined Everton on a season-long loan deal, with the Toffees paying three-fourths of the Englishman’s £300,000-per-week wages. The winger has made a blistering start to life in Merseyside and Everton have a £50 million buy-option in the loan deal next summer.

Sun Sport have reported that on top of his earnings on the pitch, Grealish has pocketed a remarkable £15 million in earnings from his image rights company, Kelandan Ltd. The company’s accounts have revealed a profit growth from £10.5 million for the 12 months to the end of November 2024.

Grealish has been one of the most handsomely paid players in Europe since his high-profile move to the Etihad Stadium in 2021, sitting alongside Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne as Manchester City’s highest earners during his time at the club.

However, Manchester City insiders have indicated that when contemplating on his next club earlier this summer, Grealish accepted that his time at the Etihad Stadium has effectively come to an end, with a parting of ways essential to salvage his England career.

City’s loss is Everton’s gain and Toffees boss David Moyes has been full of praise for Grealish, who has supplied four assists in his first two starts for Everton. Meanwhile, Manchester City have lacked inspiration in attack and have suffered two defeats in their opening trio of Premier League games.
