Jack Grealish has faced a challenging 2024–25 season under Pep Guardiola, struggling to find consistent playing time. Although he featured in 32 matches across all competitions, he started only 16 of them—just seven in the Premier League. His impact was modest, with only eight goal contributions, and notably, he didn’t start a single league game in 2025. The former Aston Villa captain was left out of City’s squad for the final league match against Fulham and didn’t feature in the FA Cup final either, where teenager Claudio Echeverri made his debut instead.
Following reports that Grealish was excluded from Manchester City’s 35-man squad for the Club World Cup, a fan criticized his form on Instagram, suggesting his omission was deserved. Grealish responded sarcastically, defending his recent output by pointing to three goals in his last three appearances—each under 45 minutes. “Haha I’ve been bad lately? Scored three goals in my last three appearances over 45 mins but okie dokie love x,” he wrote in reply.
He also took a dig at former player Gabriel Agbonlahor, who had commented on his performance during a talkSPORT segment, adding: “What u want me to do, score a hatty in 20?”
With his place in the squad increasingly under question and younger talents seemingly overtaking him in Guardiola’s plans, Grealish may be approaching a pivotal point in his career. Despite the speculation, no concrete moves have yet emerged regarding a possible transfer this summer.
