Erik ten Hag wants Jack Grealish! Man City targeted as replacement for Liverpool-bound Florian Wirtz by Bayer Leverkusen boss

<p><a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35321548/jack-grealish-transfer-florian-wirtz-replacement-exclusive/" target="_blank">The Sun</a> claims Grealish has accepted his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-endgame-man-city-attacker-takes-step-closer-to-etihad-exit-pep-guardiola-telling-decision/bltbe727aa0258e8829" target="_blank">City career is over</a>, and now Leverkusen are set to enter the race for his services. The 29-year-old is said to be valued at around £40 million ($54.2m), with ex-Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag telling Leverkusen chiefs he could be the 'perfect replacement' for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-told-pay-florian-wirtz-transfer-blockbuster-offer-rejected-bayer-leverkusen/blt12ebaa60616f96e5#csb504d8c9f23d05b8" target="_blank">Liverpool-linked Wirtz</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Grealish has gone from being a £100m ($135.5m) signing to a fringe player at City who is nearly unrecognisable from the one they signed at Aston Villa in 2021. Despite that, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jack-grealish-wanted-by-everton-toffees-ready-join-newcastle-race-land-man-city-outcast/blt5ca5c948ac918d85#cs02454e69b3964afc" target="_blank">Newcastle United, Everton</a>, and more, are chasing his signature.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>England international Grealish, who has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jack-grealish-hits-back-fan-criticism-being-left-out-manchester-city-club-world-cup-squad/blt3f0f0031417c4df5" target="_blank">left out of City's Club World Cup squad</a> this summer, has scored 17 goals and added 23 assists in 157 appearances for the Manchester outfit in all competitions.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Former Villa star Grealish, who has also been linked with Serie A champions Napoli, the Villans, and Tottenham, does not appear to be short of options this summer but his next move remains uncertain. </p>
