Man City is willing to sell Jack Grealish in exchange for a sensational signing, according to sources.
According to Football Insider, Man City would be willing to sell record-signing Jack Grealish to fund the sensational signing of Jude Bellingham.
The Premier League champions’ interest in the Borussia Dortmund star is growing as a result of his outstanding performances for both club and country.
Bellingham is expected to leave Dortmund next summer, with a January move even less likely, and top clubs are lining up to sign him.
The city recognizes the England star will cost well in excess of £ 100 million and would need to part-fund the deal in the transfer market due to financial fair play regulations.
The sale of Grealish signed himself for £100m from Aston Villa two summers ago, is believed to be a realistic prospect should City intensify their Bellingham interest.
The forward has failed to totally convince Pep Guardiola since his arrival and has been in and out of the starting XI this season.
Grealish, 27, lies some way behind not only superstars Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne in the pecking order, but also the likes of Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, and Ilkay Gundogan.
Intriguingly, Grealish has started only six of City’s 14 Premier League matches this season, while lining up in the starting XI for five of their six Champions League games.
His goal in the 3-0 win over Wolves is his only goal or assist from 1039 minutes in this campaign, which pales in comparison with the eye-catching scoring and creating statistics of the likes of Haaland, Foden, and De Bruyne.
It has been a similar story for Grealish at the World Cup, where he did not start any of England’s group-stage matches and is expected to be a substitute once again for Sunday’s last-16 clash against Senegal.
