Everton Football Club have completed the signing of England international Jack Grealish on a loan deal from Manchester City.
The Toffees confirmed the signing of Jack Grealish on its website on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. According to reports, the deal includes an option to buy after his loan move expires at the end of the 2025/26 season.
The midfielder confirmed that he spoke to one of the legends at Everton, Wayne Rooney, before making the decision to leave Manchester City.
“As soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place that I wanted to go. On social media, I’ve been flooded with messages from Everton supporters, so there’s that side of it as well and that’s another reason why I chose Everton. I want to say thank you to the fans for all of the messages I’ve had already. Thank you for all of the love and support. I hope I can repay you now and I’m sure I will.”
Grealish is a player who has been admired by Everton boss David Moyes. City recognised Grealish’s need to play consistent Premier League football in a World Cup year, and that was partly behind their decision to leave him out of the Club World Cup squad.
Grealish fell out of favour with Pep Guardiola which resulted in him failing to break into the first team. He made just one Premier League start last season and was an unused substitute at Wembley for the FA Cup Final defeat to Crystal Palace.
The ex-Aston Villa attacker was a key part of the City team that won the Treble in 2023, playing a part in their Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup success. He will wear the number 18 jersey which was worn by Rooney while he was at Everton.
