Tottenham Hotspur and Everton hold a genuine interest in signing Jack Grealish, talkSPORT understands.
However, Newcastle are unlikely to make a move for the Manchester City outcast.
Grealish is expected to depart City this summer with the 29-year-old set to be left out of the Club World Cup squad in order to find a new club.
Grealish is contracted until 2027, and City are hoping for a fee of at least £50million, making a permanent transfer challenging. His £300,000-per-week wage is also a stumbling block for suitors.
Spurs are looking to add a left-sided winger or attacker having decided against taking the option to buy Timo Werner. Mathys Tel is expected to remain at Tottenham but expected new manager Thomas Frank is likely to get a further reinforcement in this area.
Everton will only make an approach if Grealish shows a willingness to go on loan and City cover some of his wage.
Aston Villa would be looking for a similar kind of structure if they are to consider re-signing Grealish, who made 213 appearances for Villa between 2013 and 2021 before joining Manchester City for £100m.
At this stage, Villa are not an actively chasing Grealish and are more focused on securing an outgoing to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules before the end of the 2024/25 financial year. It is also unclear if Grealish would consider a return to Villa Park.
Newcastle feel well-covered on the left with Antony Gordon and Harvey Barnes, with the form of the latter in the back-half of the season a key reason why the Magpies feel no urgency to add another signing.
Barnes finished the Premier League season with nine goals and four assists as Newcastle qualified for the Champions League.
Newcastle also expect Gordon to stay despite Liverpool’s interest in the player, however, they would only consider a move if Luis Diaz departs.
Barcelona have already been told by Liverpool that Diaz is not for sale, but Al Nassr are prepared to bid €85m should the Colombian winger show an openness to switch to Saudi. Liverpool don’t wish to sell and only an astronomical offer might change that position
Grealish has endured a hugely frustrating 18 months under City boss Pep GuardiolaAFPGrealish also has his own interest from Saudi Arabia via Al Qadsiah, but is believed to want to stay in Europe.
Away from the Premier League, Barcelona have enquired on Grealish in the past but are not currently an active suitor, even with Diaz looking off the table.
Milan, Napoli, Dortmund, Inter and Leverkusen are all other potential destinations.
talkSPORT understands Napoli value both Grealish and Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho at £42m and are pushing ahead with signing a left winger as soon as possible.
Grealish’s priority is to play regular minutes after Thomas Tuchel told him in April he is still in his thinking ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
The desire to play in what will likely prove Grealish’s final World Cup could yet prompt the City winger to consider a short-term deal or even drop his wage.
Grealish didn’t play for England in the March international break and wasn’t selected in the June breakGettyShould Grealish join Spurs, it’s a transfer that would please talkSPORT’s Troy Deeney.
Advising Grealish on where to go next, Deeney said in March: “He will have to leave and I don’t think he wont be short of suitors but I think now it’s a massive situation for him.
“He may have to lower his expectations in terms of wages and where he’s playing but you could definitely see him going to somewhere like Spurs playing week in, week out and trying to move them up but for Jack it’s about staying fit and playing consistently.”
