Everton are set to negotiate a deal for Jack Grealish.

What is the current situation?

The midfielder had a strong start to his loan spell at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but an untimely injury in January saw his season ended prematurely after he underwent surgery.

Why is this important for Everton?

With Everton currently 13th in the Premier League, 49 pts, 13W-10D-15L from 38 games, and recent form LLDDL, they are keen to get Grealish back to fitness and agree a deal, as they look to improve their squad, having lost their last result 1-0 to Tottenham on 2026-05-24.

What are the next steps?

Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Everton remain determined to extend Grealish's stay and are now planning to hold fresh talks, with the midfielder sharing photos from Finch Farm despite his Everton contract ending last month, and former Everton CEO Keith Wyness saying Grealish is keen to remain at Everton next season, and is prepared to take a pay cut to push through the move, as Everton look to reduce their goal difference of -3, having scored 47 goals and conceded 50 this season.

How does Grealish feel about staying at Everton?

Grealish is rumoured to be on as much as £300,000 per week at Man City, which Everton would never be able to match, but with Grealish keen to remain at Everton after a strong start to his season on Merseyside, a loan deal is most likely, as Everton look to bolster their squad in other key positions, and are 36 points behind leaders Arsenal, with a recent form of 0W-1D-4L, having lost the last 4 games
