Reports have revealed a financial obstacle hindering Jack Grealish, the Manchester City winger, from moving to Napoli during the summer transfer window, despite being out of Pep Guardiola's plans and not being included in the squad for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Despite reports suggesting Grealish was close to leaving Manchester City this summer, the English player has not received any official offers yet. Napoli, the Serie A champions, aimed to sign Grealish and reunite him with his former teammate Kevin De Bruyne, who recently joined the Italian club.

However, according to media reports, the main obstacle lies in Napoli's refusal to pay Grealish's current weekly salary of around £300,000. Reports indicated the possibility of finding solutions, including Manchester City covering part of the salary to complete the deal.

Amid financial complications, Napoli has begun exploring other alternatives, including Alejandro Garnacho, the Manchester United star, due to his potential and ability to develop in the long term.

It is worth noting that Jack Grealish, 29, has a contract with Manchester City that runs until the summer of 2027 and participated in 32 matches last season, scoring 3 goals and providing 5 assists.
