Although he still does not have to leave Manchester City, there is some assurance that Jack Grealish wearing the colors of another club will come the beginning of the 2025/26 season.

29-year-old International International has fallen so far without favor under Pep Guardiola that he was not even chosen to go to the Club World Cup, a competition that city It came out earlier than it was predicted after a stunning loss against Saudi giants pro League, Al Hilal.

One goal and two assists in 2024/25

nevertheless Bored There is definitely a player you will pay to see, the Catalan position can be perfectly understood.

In the entirety of the 2024/25 campaign, the offensive midfielder achieved a sharp goal and two 21 appearances.

Even if one takes into account that he started only in eight of those games – and his total minutes in all competitions (805) added up to less than nine matches – this is still far below the standards Guardiola has set for Cityzens.

The team itself was far below when someone puts it in context what it went before, of course, so Grealish was not just in subformation; However, it is not stretched to say that Grealis did not really perform at all.

An accuracy of only 6.7% proved that even if he had to beat his man, which was something that did not happen quite often in 2024/25, there was little chance of finding the net.

Perhaps this is why statistics would show that he preferred to play in a teammate, given his 91% accuracy at the Premier League.

Original and down to the ground

The swashbuckling nature with which Grealish plays the game is extremely pleasant to look at a supporter’s point of view. Fans identify with its authenticity and behavior down to Earth in an era where everyone in the public eye seems to have been trained in the media.

This can win hearts and minds, but it does not win football matches.

When you are trying only nine meetings during a whole season and win only five of them, it is clear that you are not giving your best.

It is difficult to get a pace when you are inside and outside a team, it’s true, though a player has to affect the game when the opportunity is given, and this is where Grealish retired in 2024/25.

In the winning season of the city, for example, Grealish was much more capable of both goals and assistance in the result, as well as his overall contribution.

Five goals and seven assists remain its best to date for the club (2022/23), while the 989 crossings attempted are mostly from a long way he has made in a campaign for City.

274 one-to-one-one-one-sided duel compared to just 19 last season is another extraordinary indicator of how much of a Greek passer-by was made in several matches, while 25 meetings tried is almost three times more than last season. 16 Won is more than three times what he arrived in 2024/25.

Is Treble win the reason after the poor form of Grealish?

The story that players have somehow ‘finished football’ if they manage to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League is a non -argument, quite frankly, and only shows a lack of professionalism if such an achievement leads to a player taking their foot from the accelerator – it seems that Gealish seems to have done.

So what is next?

With the World Cup just a year away, Grealish may consider that a good season in 2025/26 will allow, at least, to be the opportunity to be in conversation when Thomas Tuchel appoints his last team.

Germany has shown that he recognizes his mind by returning the players to international folding, who many had thought they would have seen the last in a shirt of England.

Will anyone really want to risk buying a player who only costs £ 100m just a few seasons ago, but it’s probably not worth much more than one fifth of this now?

If he can do well in a new club – and reports suggest that Italian giants Naples They are approaching to be his new employers – then there is every reason to think that besides internal success, he can lead everything with that memory of England.

Time to grow it again

However, for this to be a thought in Tuchel’s mind, Grealish will have to return to the form of shape he showed in 2022/23 or otherwise he may forget it.

At the age of 29, surely the player still has several seasons left at the high level of play if he is able to get his head down and work.

If he is pleased to see the rest of his career in relative darkness because he just no longer has the motivation longer, it would be saddened to conclusions in a reasonable good career.
