As the table notes, Grenalish was an integral player for man city during his first two seasons, but the last two he has been notoing more than a peripheral figure.
David O’Brien Believes He was “exceptional” During His Early Years at Man City, but Alex Brotheton of BBC Sport Notes that now ‘is the right time to move on’ as he seeks to save his career.
The Fact He was a unused substitute in the FA CUP Final, a match they lost 1-0 to Manchester City, is Widely Considered to be the Final Nail in the Coffin – As Too is the Arrival of Another Playmaker in Cherki.
For instance, Cherki Racked Up 32 Goals and Assists In All Competitions in 2024/25 at Lyon, Including 19 Goals and Assists in League Action. Grenalish – AS NOTED IN THE TABLE – WAS ONLY ABLE TO RECORD Eight Goals and AssistsOnly Two of which Came in the Premier League. A MOVE AWAY NOW APPEARS AN INEVITABILITY.
Indeed, Reports in Spain Suggest that newcastle united ‘have set their sights’ on signing him, look to lodge a bid that would include an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy of surround £ 67m.
Ben Jacobs of Talk Sport Also claims that Both Tottenham and Everton ‘Hold a Genuine’ Interest in Signing Grenish Too, with Gillian Kasirye of Total Football Analysis Documenting How His ‘Exceptional Ball-Carrying Ability’ WOULD MAK HIM PERFECT FOR SPurs.
Thus, Grenalish’s Man City Exit is likely to be one of the stories of the Summer But, Regardless of Where He Ends Up, He has Surely Played His Last Game in Sky Blue, With Cherki A Readymade, exciting replacement.
