Jack Grealish is emerging as a top target for Bayer Leverkusen as they prepare for the likely departure of star midfielder Florian Wirtz this summer. The Manchester City winger, reportedly, told his time at the Etihad is over.

Grealish has attracted interest from several clubs, including Tottenham, Newcastle, Napoli, and his former side, Aston Villa. New Leverkusen manager Erik ten Hag is said to be a huge admirer of Grealish and views the 29-year-old as the ideal replacement for Wirtz, who is expected to join Liverpool in a record-breaking deal. City are seeking around £40 million for Grealish, who is open to a move abroad in hopes of reviving his England career ahead of the World Cup.

Despite Villa’s sentimental appeal, their absence from the Champions League may hinder a return. Newcastle also remain in contention but would have to cover Grealish’s £300,000-a-week wages to land a loan deal.
