- £100m signing has endured frustrating campaign at City
- Manager says De Bruyne may not start in Etihad finale
Pep Guardiola has said a decision will be made on Jack Grealish’s Manchester City future at the end of the season. The England international, signed for £100m four years ago, has fallen down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium since his starring role in the 2023 treble-winning campaign.
The 29-year-old has made just seven Premier League starts this term and was not summoned from the bench during Saturday’s FA Cup final defeat by Crystal Palace. That has fuelled speculation he could move on this summer, but Guardiola insists nothing has yet been determined and discussions will take place between outgoing director of football Txiki Begiristain, his successor Hugo Viana and the player’s representatives.
