“Disappointing Displays” – The Shocking Reason Pep Guardiola Dropped Jack Grealish for Crucial Game Revealed Amid Transfer Rumors

Unlike last year, this season has been lackluster for Jack Grealish at Manchester City. Besides struggling to make an impact on the pitch, the Englishman has faced numerous injury problems throughout the campaign. As the season finally comes to an end, a shadow of uncertainty looms over his future at Etihad. However, more than his potential transfer, a shocking revelation has come to light. Pep Guardiola deliberately dropped Grealish in their final push for the Premier League title due to the winger’s poor form.

Of course, 20 league appearances, with just 3 goals and 1 assist, come as no surprise to the City boss’s decision. As per Daily Mail writer Jack Gaughan, Grealish was excluded from City’s squad that secured a crucial victory against Fulham earlier this month due to his ‘disappointing displays’ in training. In fact, in the last seven games of the season, he played only 91 minutes, starting just once. Coincidentally, this explains why Guardiola didn’t even feature him in the FA Cup final 1-2 loss against Manchester United.

The Spanish tactician reportedly had ‘frank talks’ with the winger ahead of facing Erik ten Hag’s side, urging him to ‘get back firing on all cylinders’ for the next season. Earlier, following City’s 4-2 win over Crystal Palace Grealish himself acknowledged his poor season. The 28-year-old insisted that Guardiola has been ‘good‘ with him and that the forward rather ‘owes‘ his manager to repay with good performances. Unfortunately, his poor display may affect his chances in the UEFA Euro 2024.

Gareth Southgate has plenty of forwards to choose from, and Grealish may not be selected. Furthermore, his misery doubles as he might even become a transfer subject this summer.

Jack Grealish on transfer warning as Manchester City awaits $50 million star

Manchester City could soon bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season. Brazilian teenage sensation Savio is reportedly close to securing a move to Pep Guardiola’s squad, with the transfer fee believed to be around £40 million ($50 million). The former Girona loanee is expected to undergo evaluation by Guardiola and his coaching staff during the pre-season tour of the United States.

Following this assessment, a decision will be made regarding Savio’s immediate future at the Etihad Stadium. Unfortunately, his arrival could potentially increase the competition for places, forcing Jack Grealish to work even harder to regain his spot on the wings of the club. Already this season, he found himself playing second fiddle to Jeremy Doku. Additionally, despite Guardiola’s desire to retain Grealish, he may be placed on the transfer list if deemed necessary.

It remains to be seen what happens concerning Jack Grealish’s future. Until then, he has time to reflect and prepare to come back stronger.
