Everton have opened talks over a deal for Jack Grealish to offer the England forward an escape route from Manchester City. Grealish, 29, will be allowed to leave the Etihad Stadium for the right deal during the summer window and is a target for David Moyes as he looks to bolster his squad ahead of the new Premier League season.

Grealish has two years remaining on the six-year contract he signed when joining from Aston Villa, and has been linked with a move abroad. Serie A champions Napoli, who signed Kevin De Bruyne from City earlier this summer, have been touted as a potential destination.

Everton have approached Manchester City over a deal for Jack Grealish, sources have told ESPN. Discussions between the two clubs are ongoing after Everton made contact with City to propose a season-long loan move. City's preference is to negotiate a permanent deal, but have not ruled out a temporary agreement.
