All options open with Grealish

Jack Grealish is back in the fold at Manchester City... for now.

The 30-year-old is into the final year of his reported £300,000-a-week contract at Etihad Stadium and was discarded by Pep Guardiola in the Spaniard's final season in charge, being allowed to join Everton on a season-long loan deal.

Grealish came on during the Community Shield defeat by Arsenal and played the final eight minutes of City's late comeback win over Bournemouth in Sunday's Premier League opener.

The winger appeared to be in good spirits while sitting on the bench against the Cherries and thanked City fans on social media afterwards for a "nice welcome" on his home return.

Though he has been handed a new lease of life under Guardiola's successor Enzo Maresca, no guarantees are being offered that Grealish will remain a City player come transfer deadline day on Tuesday, 1 September.

Heading into the final week of the transfer window, clubs sources have left all options open for Grealish's future - staying at the club, going out on loan again or leaving permanently.

Maresca has not ruled out a move either, saying after Sunday's game: "He is here and it is my duty to coach Jack and to try to get the best.

"Then it is one more week to go and we will see what happens. Not only with Jack but also other players."

Grealish looked to be getting back to his best during his loan at Everton, contributing two goals and six assists in 20 appearances before his injury.

City sources say there have been no concrete offers for Grealish so far this summer, with a return to Hill Dickinson Stadium looking the most viable option, should he move away.

Everton are yet to make an approach and try to agree a deal, but he remains of interest to the Toffees.
