The Croatian national team has dropped out of the first team of City and was not in the frame for the last game of Premier League against Fulham, as well as for the World Cup in the United States.
“As soon as I talked to the coach, I knew there was only one place I want to go. I want to thank you for love and support. Thank you I will be able to bring you back, and I’m sure I will,” he said.

Grealish arrived in City in Aston Ville in August 2021. For the then record 118 million euros, he played more than 150 games, winning three Premier League titles, Champions League and Fa Cup.
Still, last season, he enrolled only seven league starts, and City ended the season without a great trophy. In the Fa Cup final, which city lost by Crystal Palace, Pep Guardiola manager left him on the bench and gave him an Argentine teenager Claudia Echeverry, which was the debut.
In June, it was known that Grealish wanted a clean cut and permanent departure, but ultimately he accepted the loan. He preferred to go to the club playing the Champions League, but the offer of clubs like Newcastle United or Tottenham, who were interested, was not.
The transfer to Everton gave him the opportunity to revive his career and take a lead role in the new Stadium Hill Dickinson. Grealish will also try to fight for return to the national team after last summer admitted that he was a “broken heart”, because he was not invited to the European Championship 2024.
