Jack Grealisk has returned to social media critics with his future in Manchester City in the balance.
Sky Sports News reported that Grealisk is expected to be omitted from the Pep Guardiola team for the club World Cup in the United States and options will be considered for the 29-year-old when they arrive this summer.
The former captain of Aston Villa, who cost £ 100 million £ 100 million in 2021, was also omitted from the match of the match day for the 2-0 win on the last day of the season against Fulham.
It was a decision that led to Gabriel Agbonlahor, a former teammate of Grealish at Villa, who accused Guardiola of making the situation “personal”, despite the fact that it was only a “selection” choice at the time.
Agbonlaor took his frustrations on social media after posting a video commentary on the treatment of his player's Spaniard.
The attacker posted on the post, where he said: “What do you want me to do? Score a Hatty [hat-trick] in 20 [minutes]? “
A comment was: “Guy Jack [has] I have been bad lately and I am not surprised that Pep did. “
Grealishe replied to the fan: “Haha, I have been bad lately? Scored 3 goals in my last 3 performances of more than 45 minutes, but okay Dokie Love X”
Grealisk is linked to movements to other clubs in the Premier League and abroad after he had only started seven games last season in the Top-Flight.
He has left his contract for two years.
What Pep said about the future of Grealisk …
Speaking after Grealiskh from the team was omitted to face Fulham, Guardiola said: “It was selection.
“Of course Jack has to play. He is an incredible player who has to play football every three days.
“It also didn't happen this season and last season either. He has to do it, and that is with us, or another place. And that is a question for Jack, his agent and the club. If he stays it will be fine and he fought as if he fought from the first day to make a contribution, but not today.”
To Guardiola that he is unhappy with Grealisk, broke the Spaniard back: “Who said I am not happy with Jack? Rico (Lewis) was not selected, (James) McATEE was exceptional against Aston Villa and Wolves. Why wouldn't you ask me about McATEEE?
'Grealish Deal would be complicated'
Sky Sports News' main reporter Kaveh Solhekol:
“If Grealisk had to leave, it would be a complicated deal. He is 29 and feels like he has a lot to offer at the highest level.
“But where would he go? Who can afford to pay £ 300,000 a week?
“We have seen other players on loan such as Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. We will have to wait and it is one of the deals that could happen in the window late.
“For Jack it can be a case of a very long summer and have to wait until Deadline Day on September 1. He is really focused and wants to play regularly.
“If it's in the city, he will get his head down and fight, or he will play somewhere else. In the long term, he wants to go back to the English team.”
