Maresca Open to Departure; Jack Grealish Has Preferred Club in Mind

Grealish has come off the bench in Manchester City's first two competitive matches this season, but new Citizens manager Enzo Maresca is open to his departure.

"While he's here, it's my duty to try and help him give us his best. We'll see what happens in the next four or five days. I speak with Jack almost every day," Maresca was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

The England international has made 20 appearances for Everton, scoring two goals and providing six assists. Another of Grealish's former clubs, Aston Villa, is reportedly interested in his services, but Manchester City's management has yet to receive any offers.
