This is how much of Jack Grealish wage Everton have agreed to pay as £300,000-a-week star to sign
Everton are set to confirm the signing of Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City.
The midfielder is expected to become the sixth new arrival at The Hill Dickinson Stadium this summer and could even make his debut against Leeds United, after a deal was agreed on Monday (11 August).
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also joined David Moyes’ side last week, after a fee worth around £28million was agreed with Chelsea.
Everton are expected to continue bolstering their squad in the final weeks of the window, with John McGinn among the players targeted.
Everton to pay up to half of Grealish’s wages
Grealish has been pushing for a way out of The Etihad this summer, after Pep Guardiola made it clear that the England international would not be in his plans for this season.
The 29-year-old has struggled to find his best form in Manchester following his £100m move from Aston Villa in 2021.
Grealish had been among the most exciting players in the Premier League, scoring six goals and providing 12 assists in the 2020/21 season, but could not come close to replicating that form in sky blue.
And with Thomas Tuchel set to name an England major international tournament squad for the first time next summer, the midfielder was not willing to sit on the bench for a season.

| Appearances | 20 |
| Goals | 1 |
| Assists | 1 |
That has allowed Moyes the chance to add Grealish to his team, with the midfielder expected to add a different creative dimension to the Scot’s options.
The 29-year-old underwent a medical on Monday and is now set to be confirmed as an Everton player officially in the coming hours.
According to the Daily Mirror (12 August, back page), the Toffees have agreed to pay up to half of Grealish’s £300,000 per week wages for the season.
The deal also includes an option to buy worth around £50m that can be triggered at the end of the season.
Grealish can give Everton what they lack
Everton have often lacked an element of chaos within their team, and that is exactly what Grealish excels in.
The midfielder, if given the freedom to roam, can pick up the ball and drive at the opposition from any angle, dragging several defenders away from their attackers, at least.
Moyes will hope Grealish can rediscover the form that did exactly that for Villa.
