The two clubs have emerged as the top candidates in the race to sign the wing midfielder Jack Grealish – who is disgraced in Man City – after the new transfer price is revealed.
Man City is seeking to recover after a disappointing Premier League season, where they lost the throne into Liverpool. Pep Guardiola's army could not successfully defend the Champions League title and lost to Crystal Palace 0-1 in the FA Cup final at Wembley in May.
After bringing 4 rookies in the summer of 2025, now the Green Man started the purification of forces. The head of the “black list” is the Jack Grealish winger. According to Manchester Evening News, Man City values the British player at £ 40 million.
However, selling Greealish at that price may not be easy, especially when he just experienced the 2024/25 season. Greealish only played 20 matches in the Premier League last season, scored only 1 goal and had 1 assist. He also has no name in Man City's FIFA Club World Cup, although coach Guardiola insists it is not related to discipline.
“The only reason he was not playing was me – not because he behaved wrong or anything else,” Guardiola said in June. “I always hope the best for Jack, for his partner, children and his family. I have no doubt about Jack's level – the seasonal season will not come true without him.”
According to Oddschecker, Napoli and Tottenham are currently two leading candidates in the race to win the signature of Grealish. The 29 -year -old is considering leaving Etihad to seek more often.
Despite his decline in the previous season, Grealish was still a quality player for mid -range teams. His speed, technique and skillful ability can still bring much value to the team.
