'Pep Guardiola doesn’t like him!' - Jack Grealish gets brutal transfer advice as £100m star is told he 'has to leave' Man City after humbling FA Cup final snub

FIFA Club World Cup

Manchester City

Wydad Casablanca

<p>That is the brutal verdict being delivered by ex-England international Alan Shearer. The Premier League’s all-time leading goal-scorer has been watching on from afar this season as Grealish has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-aston-villa-man-city-struggles-tipped-surprise-london-move-leaves-etihad/blte51aaefb4bc7acfa" target="_blank">struggled to rediscover his spark at the Etihad Stadium</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 29-year-old playmaker has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-challenged-make-place-his-own-miserable-spell-man-city-england-sold/blt344d40d1f9accee2" target="_blank">restricted to just seven top-flight starts in 2024-25</a>, with only three goals being recorded through 31 appearances in all competitions. Questions are once again being asked of his future.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Grealish was an unused substitute as City suffered defeat in the 2025 FA Cup final, with Phil Foden, Ilkay Gundogan and debutant Claudio Echeverri being favoured by Guardiola. That is considered to be another indicator of trust being lost in a man with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-international-error-choosing-england-over-ireland-man-city-star-transfer-advice/blt3d660d3a36409b5c" target="_blank">39 Three Lions caps to his name</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Shearer believes the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-scott-mctominay-man-city-outcast-wanted-serie-a-title-hopefuls-napoli-ex-chelsea-tottenham-boss-antonio-conte-big-fan/bltf06e14d09da854c0" target="_blank">time has come for Grealish to find a fresh start</a>, telling <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7nxzfbNI7wxctZZk0B7wPC " target="_blank"><em>The Rest Is Football</em></a> podcast: “His time's up at Man City. He has to leave. For [Guardiola] to bring on a debutant, a young boy, and Gundogan on when they're desperate for a goal rather than Jack Grealish, his time is up.”
</p><p>The ex-Newcastle and Blackburn frontman added: “He's done at Man City, he has to leave [and] for whatever reason Pep's done with him. He doesn't like him. His time's up.”</p>

WHAT ALAN SHEARER SAID

<p>Grealish has struggled to produce his best on the back of a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-joined-wrong-club-rio-ferdinand-ryan-giggs-100m-man-city-star-man-utd-player/blt892ff521089441cf" target="_blank">record-breaking £100 million ($134m) transfer to City</a> from boyhood club Aston Villa in 2021. He has become a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-branded-huge-success-man-city-year-without-premier-league-goal-club-legend-dismisses-100m-price-tag-concerns-exceptional-winger/blt9981efeaa9ff7c0a" target="_blank">Premier League and Champions League winner,</a> but may need to walk away from the final two years of his contract.</p>
