Guardiola Suggests Grealish May Rejoin Manchester City Soon

Pep Guardiola has hinted that Jack Grealish could return to Manchester City soon. The player has excelled at Everton since joining on a season-long loan in August. Grealish, 30, had slipped down the ranks at Manchester City

Grealish’s Successful Loan at Everton

The England international has been a key player for Everton this season. Guardiola acknowledged Grealish’s influence at the Merseyside club. Grealish is unable to play against Manchester City this weekend due to loan conditions.

Guardiola’s Perspective

Guardiola mentioned that Grealish has one year remaining on his contract with Manchester City. While he expressed uncertainty about the future, Guardiola emphasized Grealish’s substantial impact at Everton. He expressed genuine satisfaction with Grealish’s return to regular play and contributions on the pitch.

Haaland’s Impressive Form

Meanwhile, another standout player for Manchester City is Erling Haaland. The forward has scored 21 goals in 12 matches this season, demonstrating remarkable form. Notable performances include five goals against Moldova and a hat trick against Israel, putting Norway close to World Cup qualification.

• Haaland’s 12 goals in the Premier League this season elevate his total to 136 goals for City.
• The only match he failed to score in was against Tottenham in September.

Guardiola praised Haaland as a top-class player, among the few who make a significant difference in world football. He humorously remarked on needing “four central defenders” to stop him if he were an opposing manager.

Guardiola’s Approach to Haaland

Guardiola does not feel the need to manage Haaland closely at the moment. He acknowledges that Haaland’s performance may eventually decline, but expressed readiness to support him through any challenges. For now, he sees no need for special encouragement or management for the striker.
