Man City yet to receive Grealish offers - could a loan be the answer?

Jack Grealish joined Manchester City from Aston Villa for £100m in 2021

Manchester City have not received any formal offers for out-of-favour midfielder Jack Grealish.

England international Grealish's club future is in doubt after he was left out of City's squad for the last Premier League game of the campaign at Fulham, as well as the Club World Cup in the United States.

The 29-year-old joined on a six-year deal from Aston Villa in 2021, costing £100m, and his reported weekly wages of £300,000 could deter potential suitors.

Grealish was recently described by former City and Villa goalkeeper Shay Given as "a generational talent" and has been linked with clubs including Everton and Newcastle, but sources say there has yet to be a bid for the player.

Analysis - Grealish's City days still look numbered

Grealish was a British record signing when City brought him in, and he played a major role in the club's Treble-winning campaign.

He was at the forefront of City's celebrations afterwards but has struggled to find his best form over the past two seasons.

During that time he has netted just four Premier League goals and grown accustomed to warming the bench rather than gracing the pitch.

Pep Guardiola gave an impassioned response after leaving out Grealish for the Fulham game in May, saying that as City's manager he was the person who "fought for him to come here and the person who fought for him to stay here this season and the next season".

But being left out of the Club World Cup squad suggests the two parties look like going their separate ways this summer, though who will be able to afford to take on such a big earner?

A loan move with City paying a portion of the salary seems the most likely option for whoever can stump up sufficient cash to make that viable.

Toure involved as City train in Florida

Right-back Kyle Walker was also left out of Pep Guardiola's City squad for the trip to the USA and is free to find a new club.

The 35-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan, but the Serie A club decided not to make the move permanent.

City arrived at their base in Boca Raton in Florida for the Club World Cup and held their first training session at Lynn University on Friday.

New signings Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Marcus Bettinelli all took part, with City facing Moroccan side Wydad AC in their opening game in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Youth-team coach and former defender Kolo Toure has been drafted in to help on the trip, alongside new assistant coach Pep Lijnders.

City cut ticket prices

Earlier on Friday, City announced they had cut ticket prices by up to 43% following protests by some fans last season who were unhappy with matchday pricing and season ticket availability.

Demonstrations took place before some matches outside Etihad Stadium and continued as supporters remained in the concourses at kick-off time.

Manager Guardiola said in April he had "sympathy" for those holding protests and the club had already committed to freezing season ticket prices.

Chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak had said he was "not OK" with how the club's ticketing strategy played out in public.

Fan advisory board City Matters said in a statement on Friday: "City Matters warmly welcome this announcement from the club, making matchday attendance more accessible and ensuring a vibrant atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium.

"This announcement shows the club's commitment to City Matters and is a positive end to this season and our working relationship.

"City Matters look forward to continued engagement and transparency with the club to achieve our shared ambition for Manchester City's success."

Fans will be charged between £40 and £60 for home fixtures against the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool, with further reductions in other categories.
