Jack Grealish has been linked with a huge move away from Man City

Jack Grealish is wanted by a European giant and there are doubts over his long-term future at Manchester City.

Grealish moved to the Etihad Stadium for £100m back in 2021 after impressing at boyhood club Aston Villa but has struggled to cement a regular starting spot under Pep Guardiola this season, starting just 10 Premier League games in City’s record-breaking fourth title win.

Injuries have hampered his campaign but the England international has been criticised for his lack of goal contributions, scoring only three times and registering one assist in the league.

The 28-year-old has been included in England’s preliminary Euro 2024 squad ahead of the likes of Marcus Rashford but speculation continues over his future at City amid reported interest from Chelsea.

Now, a new contender for his signature has emerged with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich reportedly interested in bringing him to Germany.

Bayern are closing in on the appointment of City legend Vincent Kompany as their new manager and the Belgian has identified Grealish as the perfect player to rebuild the team around, according to The Sun.

The report adds Kompany is a huge fan of Grealish and there is confidence Munich can convince him into moving to the Bundesliga where he would link up with international teammate Harry Kane.

Despite ending his debut season trophyless, Kane has taken the Bundesliga by storm while Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho saw his fortunes improve after returning to Germany and will play in the Champions League final for Borussia Dortmund.

Munich believe they can offer Grealish the platform to resurrect his career and nail down a starting spot in the England team.

After picking up another Premier League winners medal, Grealish admitted he was not happy with his performances during the season.

“I don’t feel like I’ve performed well this season at all,” he told Sky Sports. “I performed better this year than my first year. That first year I just wanted to win no matter what. Last year I played more and this season has been stop-start. I played well in points.

“My standards are high so I feel like I could’ve played more in some games. I wanted to play as much as I could like last season. We have so many good players here so it’s difficult. There’s no team in the world that rotates like this team do, but that’s the beauty of it.
