Man City now ready to do deal for Jack Grealish as Daniel Levy stance emerges
Manchester City are looking for an exit route for Jack Grealish, with Tottenham potentially representing a landing destination this summer.
The England international has had a tough year at the Etihad after falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola this campaign.
This ultimately saw the 29-year-old be an unused substitute as the Citizens fell to FA Cup final defeat against Crystal Palace at Wembley.
As a result, it is little surprise that an exit is on the cards for Grealish as links to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium continue to persist in a new Daniel Levy development.
Levy update emerges in Grealish to Tottenham update
There is no doubt that the Lilywhites are going to be in desperate need of reinforcement ahead of the new Premier League season.
After a campaign finishing 17th, regardless of winning the Europa League, success in a domestic setting is a must next year for Ange Postecoglou.
This could see someone like Grealish emerge as a positive option for Spurs, given his sizable experience at the top level.
A deal could be on the table as Manchester City could even be willing to sanction a loan departure once the window opens [TBR Football, 29 May].
Even if Spurs were to approach Guardiola’s side for a temporary switch, the Englishman’s wages could prove to be an issue in North London.
Grealish is said to be happy to stay at the Etihad beyond the summer, while City are keen to move him on if they can find an acceptable suitor.
With “Levy’s strict financial policies”, spending a large amount on a loan player approaching 30 may prove to be a difficult one to convince the chairman of.
Tottenham and Grealish could be perfect match
The attacking midfielder was strongly linked to N17 back in his Aston Villa days, despite no deal going through in the Midlands.
This could see an approach be made in the upcoming window, if he is available for a cut-price figure, as Man City look to cut ties after a difficult season.

Grealish could work well alongside the likes of Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison, who both possess a similar skill set in behind the striker.
