So, Jack Grealish, who’s kind of fallen out of favor at Manchester City, had a pretty intriguing response when people started asking about the rumors of him heading to Napoli this summer.
It seems like Grealish’s time with Manchester City might be coming to an end, especially after he wasn’t included in the squad for the Club World Cup. The guy is 29 now, and he’s been keeping himself fit over the summer. He’s been posting all these workout videos on social media—definitely trying to stay in top shape as domestic football gears up again in August.
Now, Napoli is just one of the clubs that’s been linked to him. Interestingly, it’s come to light that the former Aston Villa star has been seen training in this beautiful little town called Ravello in Italy’s Campania region. Emanuele Falcone, who’s a municipal councillor in Scala, mentioned that he’s heard fans asking Grealish about his future and whether he might follow some of his old Manchester City teammates to Napoli.
You know, Grealish kind of fueled those rumors himself when he chatted with supporters while he was on the Amalfi Coast. He flew in earlier this week to do some solo training and, guess what, he’s been spotted on the pitches in Ravello—what a place!
In a conversation with Radio Marte, Falcone claimed that Grealish dropped some hints about possibly moving to Napoli when fans asked him about it. He said, “Grealish has booked our sports facility for the whole week, from Monday to Thursday.”
But, here’s the thing: While there aren’t any official negotiations happening just yet, the move might be complicated due to Grealish’s hefty wages. Manchester City might have to chip in a bit to help make this transfer happen.
Then, things got a bit more interesting when it came out that Grealish left the UK earlier this week and landed in Naples. After arriving at Capodichino airport, he was whisked away to the Amalfi Coast. His driver, Salvatore, even shared some insights on 'Radio Goal' about his time with Grealish.
“Grealish is still on the Amalfi Coast; I took him there,” he revealed. “I can’t tell you where he’s training, but yes, he’s here. I took him this morning; he’s been here for two or three days now. Maybe he has some contact with Napoli.”
So, who knows? Things are definitely heating up around his potential move!
