Manchester City is reportedly open to receiving offers for Jack Grealish in the upcoming summer transfer window, amidst rumors of his potential departure. Despite their Champions League quarter-final loss to Real Madrid, the Citizens are still in the race for both the Premier League title and FA Cup this season.

Following their victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, Man City finds themselves trailing Arsenal and Liverpool by just one point in the Premier League standings. However, with Pep Guardiola’s contract expiring in 2025, there are speculations of significant changes ahead, including the possible departure of some current players at the end of the season.

Recent reports from Spain suggested that five Man City players, including Grealish, Stefan Ortega, Kalvin Phillips, Bernardo Silva, and Kevin de Bruyne, are considering leaving the club in the summer. While it is uncertain if all named players will depart, there are growing indications that Grealish might be put up for sale, with Guardiola reportedly not fully convinced by the winger’s performances.

Despite Man City’s record-breaking £100m acquisition of Grealish from Aston Villa last summer, there are internal considerations of his potential sale to generate funds for future transfers. Additionally, Grealish’s teammate Bernardo Silva has been linked with a move to various clubs, including a surprising link to Premier League rivals Arsenal.

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has quelled speculations of Silva’s potential transfer to Arsenal this summer, emphasizing the lack of concrete information on the matter. Romano suggests that if Silva does leave Man City, it is more likely for him to move abroad, with Barcelona expressing longstanding interest in the Portuguese international.

In summary, amidst uncertainties about the future of key players like Grealish and Silva, Man City seems poised for potential changes in their squad composition ahead of the new season.
