Everton Grealish's preference if he leaves Man City
Jack Grealish's preference would be to make a return to Everton should he leave Manchester City in the remaining days of the transfer window, sources have told BBC Sport.
Jack Grealish would prefer to return to Everton if he were to leave Manchester City before the transfer deadline, according to sources cited by BBC Sport. City are reportedly interested in signing Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye, who has rejected multiple contract offers, despite the player's desire for Champions League football. The 26-year-old Senegalese forward has been a key player for City, but the club has not been in a hurry to sell him, with a potential fee of around £70 million demanded.
Everton chief executive Angus Kinnear has stated that the club has remained in contact with Grealish, who spent the previous season at the Toffees before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in January. Grealish, who scored twice and provided six assists in 20 appearances for Everton, is a popular player among supporters but is, in essence, a Manchester City player.
