After falling out of favour at Etihad Stadium under Pep Guardiola last season, Grealish was being linked with a move away from City. His departure became imminent after he was left out of the club's travelling squad to the USA for the Club World Cup earlier in the summer. The English winger finally ended his nightmare with the Cityzens and completed a loan move to the Toffees last week.
