Manchester City's Jack Grealish has taken aim at critics on social media as speculation over his future at the club grows.  A source told ESPN on Wednesday that Grealish was set to be left out City's Club World Cup squad and has permission to speak to other clubs.

The 29-year-old's position at Etihad Stadium is unclear heading into the summer transfer window, amid a growing sense he would benefit from a move before next season. Grealish joined City in 2021 for a then-British record £100m and was a key part of Pep Guardiola's Treble-winning side in 2022-23.

A treble winner and key player in 2023, Grealish made just seven starts in the Premier League last season and manager Pep Guardiola apologised to the former Aston Villa captain for the lack of minutes he gave him.
