Tottenham Hotspur was linked to a decision for Manchester City striker Jack Grenish this summer, while doubts are growing upon his future at Etihad.
Grealish first took importance to Aston Villa, club captain and playing a central role in his premier League promotion in 2019.
Through 213 appearances for villa, he marked 32 goals and 41 assistsWinning a record transfer of 100 million pounds sterling to Manchester City in 2021, which made him the most expensive British footballer at the time.
However, the 29 -year -old was struggling to justify his high price in City. The system based on the possession of Pep Guardiola has limited its ability to assume defenders and dictate the game, unlike its more central and free role at Villa.
Injuries and the increase in competition, especially players like Jeremy Doku, were still difficult to cement a regular starting place.
This season, Grenish has only made 26 appearances in all competitions, marking twice and providing five assists. More revealing, only 14 of these appearances came as a starter, stressing his reduced role in the team.
Tottenham has a real interest in Jack Grealish
Its lack of impact and its reduced role have returned to the club uncertain, the spurs emerging as a potential destination.
According to the last of GivemesportTottenham had already expressed his interest in Grenish during the January window, although a move was then deemed unlikely.
However, the key figures for Spurs would have an “authentic” interest in the player and would have wanted to sign it this summer – the city’s requested price is reasonable.
An agreement, however, would be far from simple. Grealish wages of £ 300,000 per week represent a significant obstacle, while City is unlikely to let him go cheap.
In addition, Tottenham is faced with the Chelsea competition, which was also linked, while Newcastle would have been able to sign it.
With the role of Grenish in City which continues to decrease, speculation about its exit intensifies. It remains to be seen if the Spurs can withdraw the signature, but all the signs indicate that the international in England is in motion this summer.
