The underlying belief Everton figures have about Jack Grealish amid transfer latest

Everton are still hopeful that Jack Grealish could return to Hill Dickinson Stadium before the end of the transfer window.

The Toffees opted not to exercise a £50million purchase option they held on the England winger following his loan spell.

However, they have been consistently linked with a renewed attempt to sign the Manchester City ace during the summer window.

Grealish scored twice and made six assists in the Premier League last term before his loan stint was cruelly curtailed by injury in February.

The 30-year-old is still working his way back to fitness following that setback, which is thought to be one of the reasons halting any potential progress.

A new report has now shared details on some of the thinking behind the scenes about a potential return for Grealish this summer.

How do Everton figures feel about a return for Jack Grealish?

Grealish was extremely popular with the Toffees' fanbase during his loan spell last season.

That popularity extended to David Moyes and his coaching staff, and a return for Grealish would be widely welcomed.

However, a report in the Daily Mail suggests there are some "underlying concerns" about a return for Grealish.

The report states that a return for Grealish would be popular for "the marketing department and the owners" at Everton.

However, it adds that there is a belief among some figures that Grealish's lifestyle away from the training ground and the "circus" that can follow him would need to change for all parties to be convinced on bringing him back.

As such, it is thought there are no guarantees that a return for Grealish definitely happens before the end of the transfer window.

Jack Grealish return still a no-brainer for Everton

And here it goes again.

There is always a narrative about Grealish's lifestyle to some extent, but really who cares if he delivers on the pitch?

It is, frankly, becoming tiresome, and Grealish proved that he is very much able to be a top operator in the Premier League.

Moyes will be looking at his options in the final third and know there are some good players in there.

But can any really provide the same "X-factor" that Grealish does?

Iliman Ndiaye on his day certainly can, but there are no guarantees he remains an Everton player much longer either.

If there is a chance to bring Grealish back to the Blue half of Merseyside, it is frankly a no-brainer.

Who cares about this supposed "circus" he brings?
