Enzo Maresca, the incoming Manchester City manager, has signaled a desire to give outcast winger Jack Grealish a fresh start at the Etihad, according to The Sun. Grealish, who fell out of favour under Pep Guardiola, remains on City’s transfer list despite a £100 million buy‑out clause and revive his England hopes.

City’s pursuit of Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson intensifies, with the 21‑year‑old leaning toward the Etihad over Manchester United, a development reported by BBC Sport. Meanwhile, rumours swirl that Nico González could exit despite his £50 million signing last season, while Liverpool’s Joe Gomez emerges as an Aston Villa target. These moves illustrate a busy summer for top clubs in Europe.

If Maresca integrates Grealish and secures Anderson, City could reinforce creativity on both flanks while trimming the squad’s wage bill. A successful reinvention of Grealish would also signal the new boss’s willingness to overhaul Guardiola’s legacy. The transfer window now hinges on whether City can convert these links into signings definitely before the season starts.
