- Everton are strong favourites to sign Jack Grealish before September 2nd, priced at 4/5 with William Hill
- Aston Villa, his former club, are priced at 4/1, with Atletico Madrid following at 9/2
- Grealish spent last season on loan at Everton, but the Toffees ultimately declined to trigger a £50 million option to buy
Permanent Exit Looking Increasingly Likely for Grealish
Jack Grealish's long-term future at Manchester City appears to be coming to an end, and bookmakers have priced up where he's most likely to end up before the transfer window closes on September 2nd.
After a loan spell at Everton last season, City are widely expected to finally part ways with the England international permanently, and William Hill's market gives a clear early indication of where the smart money currently sits.
Grealish's time at Everton last season, while ultimately cut short by injury, was widely regarded as a success on the pitch, helping restore some of the form and confidence that had faded during his time on the fringes at City.
For a player now in the latter stages of his career and keen on regular first-team football, a return to a club where he's previously felt settled and impactful represents a logical next step, even with City reportedly holding out for a fee closer to their original valuation.
Everton The Clear Frontrunners
Despite Everton previously opting against triggering their £50 million buy option following an injury-hit loan spell, they remain the clear favourites to complete a fresh deal, priced at 4/5.
Reports have suggested the two clubs remain some distance apart on valuation, but the strength of Everton's position at the top of this market suggests confidence that a fresh agreement can still be reached.
City will be after gaining some of the £100m fee that they spent on Grealish back in 2021, but understand that it is unlikely that they will recoup anywhere close to that figure.
Jack Grealish Next Club Odds
| Jack Grealish Next Club | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Everton | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| Aston Villa | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Atletico Madrid | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Newcastle | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Al Hilal | 8/1 | 11.1% |
A Reunion With Aston Villa
Aston Villa, the club Grealish left for a British record fee back in 2021, are priced at 4/1 to potentially welcome him back.
It would represent a significant story given the circumstances of his original departure, and while considerably longer than Everton's price, it remains a live enough possibility that bettors continue to back it as a credible outcome.
Beyond the Premier League, Atletico Madrid are priced at 9/2, offering Grealish a fresh European challenge should he decide to leave English football entirely.
