Grealish has appeared as a substitute in City's opening two games of the season, but new boss Enzo Maresca is open to letting the Englishman leave the club before Tuesday's transfer deadline. The 30-year-old spent last season with Everton, scoring twice and providing six assists in 20 appearances, before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in January.

BBC Football reports that City sources say there have been no concrete offers for Grealish from any club so far this summer. Meanwhile, Everton chief executive Angus Kinnear recently told BBC Radio Merseyside that the club have "remained in contact" with the player.

Maresca has stated that he speaks with Grealish almost every day, and that the club will see what happens in the next four to five days. This suggests that a potential transfer could be on the cards, but no concrete next step has been confirmed.
