Offenbar gibt es bei City ein Umdenken.
Der Klub um Trainer Pep Guardiola (54) soll sich ernsthaft mit dem Gedanken beschäftigen, den eigentlich schon kaltgestellten Jack Grealish über den Sommer hinaus zu behalten, berichtet „talkSPORT“.
Grealish fristet diese Saison ein frustrierendes Dasein als Bankdrücker bei Manchester City. Zwar kam er auf 31 Einsätze (drei Tore, fünf Vorlagen), aber in den vergangenen Monaten kam er in Premier League nur sehr begrenzt zum Einsatz.
In den letzten 16 Ligaspielen von Man City war Grealish nur in sechs dabei. Nur ein Einsatz dauerte länger als eine halbe Stunde. Ein Wechsel schien unausweichlich. Doch laut des Berichts steigen seine Chancen wieder, bei den „Skyblues“ zu bleiben!
[–>Was für einen Verbleib spricht: City soll entschieden haben, dass Grealish nicht verliehen wird, sobald das Transferfenster öffnet. Guardiola will den Kader nicht durch eine vorübergehende Abwesenheit schwächen, heißt es.
Und: Auch ein permanenter Abschied könnte vom Tisch sein, da City „weiß, dass sie die riesige Ablösesumme von knapp 120 Mio. Euro nicht wieder hereinholen könnten“.
Grealish werde als „einen der erfahrenen Köpfe in der Kabine“ betrachtet, der mit seiner Erfahrung umso wichtiger wäre, da andere erfahrene Stars wie Kevin De Bruyne und Kyle Walker im Sommer weg sind.
ManCity-Star: Foden zu Bayern? Das ist wirklich dran!
Die Vereinsführung soll aktuell intern diskutieren, ob Grealish bis zum Ende seines Vertrags, der bis Juni 2027 läuft, bleiben soll.
Guardiola hat Grealish diese Saison bereits als zentralen Spielmacher getestet. Er könnte dort regelmäßig spielen, wenn City seine Top-Transferzeile als Nachfolger von De Bruyne verpasst.
Nach den neuesten Entwicklungen könnte auch die knallharte Reduzierung der Grealish-Ablöse vom Tisch sein: So hatte „Caught Offside“ berichtet, dass City sich ab einer Summe von 38 Mio. Euro Offerten für den 29-Jährigen anhören würde.
Das wäre ein Verlust von fast 80 (!) Mio. Euro.

Pirates ace Paul Skenes endures erratic start during 8-3 loss to Cubs
<!--> Paul Skenes could tell during his pregame bullpen session on Thursday that he wasn't quite right.The Chicago Cubs then went out and offered tangible proof, taking the Pittsburgh ace deep three times in the fifth inning of what became an 8-3 Pirates loss on Thursday in a performance that was decidedly unSkenes-like, at least by the 22-year-old's remarkably high standards.It started during his intricate warm-up, when the impeccable command that has defined so much of the reigning National League Rookie of the Year's rise to stardom abandoned him."Bullpen was a little all over the place," Skenes said after falling to 3-3.

Pirates’ Paul Skenes serves up career-high 3 home runs with 4 walks in 8-3 loss to Cubs
The Chicago Cubs have featured one of the best offenses in Major League Baseball during the first month of the 2025 season, among the league's top two teams in batting average, on-base percentage, OPS, hits and runs scored.Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes likely won't disagree with that after facing the Cubs' formidable lineup on Thursday.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSkenes managed to get through the first four innings without allowing any runs and only one base hit despite the Cubs hitting several balls hard off him and drawing four walks. However, that changed drastically in the fifth inning.Dansby Swanson led off the frame with his sixth homer of the season, jumping on a splitter that hung high in the middle of the strike zone. Despite that, Cubs batting coach Dustin Kelly was ejected for arguing with home plate umpire about Skenes getting several strike calls […]
Why making Sciver-Brunt England captain was ‘straightforward’
Charlotte Edwards has backed Nat Sciver-Brunt to lead England forward and insists she was a clear choice to take over as the team's new captain.Sciver-Brunt, who has been on maternity leave after the birth of her first child, succeeds Heather Knight as skipper, having previously served as vice-captain. Knight departed her post after nine years in the wake of England's 16-0 whitewash Ashes defeat, with Sciver-Brunt assuming the role with 259 appearances across all formats to her name."It was pretty straightforward. I was pretty sure it was going to be Nat," said Edwards."She leads from the front in what she does, she has the full respect of the group, and what I've been most impressed with are her leadership qualities. "She's pretty laid back, quite unassuming for one of the best players in the world. I'll just hand her the […]
Tigers designate struggling pitcher Kenta Maeda for assignment
DETROIT — Endings like this are always uneasy. Kenta Maeda entered this season with a renewed mission. He spent his offseason in Japan training harder than ever. He began his throwing programs earlier than before. In spring training, he showed small glimpses of hope. After his first outing, he stood under the sun and admitted he felt nervous.Advertisement“My main thing going into this offseason was not to do a repeat of last year,” Maeda had said.Maeda then was reaching 92 mph with his fastball. His splitter showed newfound life, the kind that helped him establish an eight-year career as a capable pitcher in the major leagues, including periods of success with the Dodgers and Twins. Maeda gave up four home runs in spring training and lost out on a spot in the Detroit Tigers rotation. The team nonetheless seemed hopeful […]
