It has been a harrowing campaign so far for Jack Grealish, and the £100m Manchester City man is set to move on the move this winter with five clubs interested in his services.
according to Transportation marketThe England international was only able to score one goal in 21 matches in all competitions this season. In fact, this is his only goal for more than a year.
That was a penalty in an 8-0 win over local rivals, Salford, in the FA Cup, a far cry from the form that helped the Citizens secure their first ever treble.
Jack Grealish appears to be on his way out of Man City
Aston Villa have been urged to bring back Jack Grealish To the club where he made his name Tottenham have been tracking Grealish For the past few months.
However, they are not the only names in the frame The sun Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Manchester United have also reportedly expressed interest.
What seems quite clear at this stage is that Grealish's future is a long way away from the Etihad Stadium.
Even when there have been good opportunities for Pep Guardiola to put the 29-year-old into the starting line-up, he has generally looked to Jeremy Doku or others before the former Villa captain.
One goal a year for Jack Grealish
It's a remarkable fall from grace, when you consider how important the player was to the team in the not-so-distant past.
It shows that, regardless of name or profile, if you don't do business regularly, Guardiola has no favoritism at all.
Grealish himself will know how difficult it will be to get himself back into Pep's thoughts as a regular starter, so with 10 days left in the current window, perhaps now is the time for the player to look elsewhere for work.
