Jack Grealish's time at Manchester City appears to be nearing an end – with the midfielder set to be excluded from Pep Guardiola’s squad for the Club World Cup.
The 29-year-old and his representatives will instead be permitted to focus on finding him a move away from the Etihad Stadium, as he seeks to force himself into England’s World Cup plans.
Grealish started only seven times in what was a poor season for City by their own standards.
While he has two years remaining on his £300,000-a-week contract, a repeat would do neither City nor the player any favours.
