The Inside Track podcast dropped a big scoop this week. Former Everton boss Keith Wyness<\/a> shared his firm belief that Manchester City<\/a> will sell Jack Grealish to Everton for good this summer. Wyness ran Everton from 2004 to 2009 and now advises top-flight clubs. He told the podcast that City isn\u2019t interested in another loan for the 30-year-old England star.<\/p>\n

Jack Grealish To Everton: Keith Wyness Predicts Summer Move<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A stress fracture in Grealish\u2019s foot needed surgery and cut his current loan at Goodison Park short. This injury spoiled what was becoming a great comeback story. Before the injury, he was playing at an elite level. He racked up four assists in his first five games and even picked up the Premier League Player of the Month award in August, his first time winning that honour. Grealish also bagged two goals before his season hit a wall.<\/p>\n

Wyness points out that everyone involved, City, Grealish, and Everton, are dealing with a lot of frustration and financial stress. So, he thinks they\u2019ll all push for a sensible deal with a lower fee. He expects the final price to be way less than what the clubs talked about before. Grealish will likely also have to take a pay cut from his reported \u00a3300,000-a-week wages to make it happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that he\u2019ll be loaned; I think he\u2019ll probably be bought. I think the deal will be done during the summer. I still think it\u2019ll be at a reduced rate compared to what was pushed before. I think with Jack\u2019s injury, etc. There\u2019ll be a much lower fee, I think there\u2019ll be a cut in wages, and I think that Everton have borne the cost of him this season. So all parties here, both City, Jack and Everton have felt the pain to a degree. And I think there\u2019ll be a sensible resolution, but I expect him to be a full Everton player in the summer rather than being on loan again.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Everton Transfer News: Is Grealish the Best Move for Everton Right Now?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everton are currently ninth in the league as they settle into life at Hill Dickinson Stadium. They\u2019ve got ten wins, seven draws, and ten losses so far. The club are clearly moving in the right direction, and the choice to sign Grealish shows exactly how much ambition they have.<\/p>\n

The logic for a permanent deal is simple. Before he got injured, Grealish was Everton\u2019s most dangerous player. The team still need a creative spark in the middle, and he provides exactly that.<\/p>\n

Grealish also has plenty to prove. Thomas Tuchel hasn\u2019t picked him for England since taking over as manager. Staying at a stable Everton side gives him a much better shot than sitting on the bench at City. At 30, he brings the experience and directness the squad needs. If the clubs can agree on the lower price Wyness mentioned, Everton can pull this off without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
