Everton take major step towards permanent Jack Grealish signing as multi-million announcement made
Everton look more likely than ever to land Jack Grealish on a permanent deal following a new £107m cash boost.
Speculation has continued over Grealish signing permanently for Everton from Manchester City, with finances repeatedly cropping up as a stumbling block
However, Roundhouse Capital Holdings Limited have confirmed a £107m raise in funds on Monday, ahead of the January transfer window.
Roundhouse Capital is owned by Everton‘s majority shareholder, the Friedkin Group, as senior figures have confirmed their ambition to make the Toffees a dominant force in England.
Grealish has been terrific for Everton, and all the signs are pointing towards the Blues pushing for the winger on a long-term deal.
Jack Grealish to Everton is inevitable after what David Ornstein said
Everton dream of becoming a top contender for European football, as they will also want to challenge Liverpool for long-term success in the Premier League.
Bluenoses have seen many special players come and go over the years, but Grealish is steadily making himself a hero on Merseyside.
- Manchester City paid a British record fee at the time of £100m for Grealish from Aston Villa
- He made 157 appearances for City
- Grealish scored 17 goals for Pep Guardiola’s side
In October, journalist David Ornstein said Grealish to Everton permanently is looking less “unrealistic” by the day, but also suggested it “probably won’t” happen due to finances.
The contract in Everton’s deal with Grealish contains a £50m buy option, which has always seemed a steep figure for the Toffees to pay.
Now, the latest cash influx is making it seem inevitable that the Englishman will make the Hill Dickinson Stadium his permanent home.

Grealish will want to join Everton permanently
At this stage in his career, Grealish should only be thinking about Everton as the club he can move forward with.
David Moyes has told Grealish to express himself, and the winger has been released from his shackles at the Blues.
He wants to get in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the 2026 World Cup, and Everton was the best possible move he could have made in making that dream possible.
No other club would offer Grealish the same love that Bluenoses have shown him so far, as it’s fair to say the forward is falling in love with Everton.
It would be no surprise to see a deal wrapped up as early as January.
