[Saba Sports News] According to UK media reports, Everton is awaiting confirmation on whether Jack Grealish needs surgery for a foot stress fracture, fueling further doubts about his future with the club. David Moyes described this injury as a significant blow, as the 30-year-old Grealish may miss the rest of the season due to this setback. This injury also severely affects Grealish’s slim hopes of being selected for the England squad for the World Cup.
Grealish is currently on loan from Manchester City to Everton, and it remains uncertain whether a permanent transfer agreement can be reached after the season ends. The loan agreement includes a buyout option worth £50 million, but this figure is unrealistic for a player whose contract has only one year remaining this summer. During the loan period, Everton has covered most of Grealish’s £12 million salary, but financial issues mean that his future with the club remains uncertain.
Everton is in talks with Manchester City regarding his rehabilitation plan. Moyes explained that Grealish’s foot discomfort has persisted for about two weeks, but the issue did not reveal itself when he received treatment for a calf injury sustained during the victory against his former club Aston Villa earlier this week. No one had anticipated that the injury would be this severe.
