Joining forces with De Bruyne? Napoli are interested in Grealish, but £300,000 a week is the biggest obstacle

Serie A is now the backyard of veterans and frustrated stars in the top five leagues, Napoli has waived De Bruyne, Modric is going to AC Milan, Dzeko is going to Fiorentina, and Napoli is still interested in Manchester City's frustrated star Grealish, but the player's weekly salary is too high is the biggest obstacle, and Manchester City's sale of Grealish has become a problem in this summer window.

According to the latest news from the British media outlet The Telegraph, Napoli are interested in Grealish, but will certainly not match the player's £300,000-a-week salary at Manchester City, and Grealish will need to take a pay cut if he wants to play again. Manchester City are currently preparing for the Club World Cup in the United States, while Grealish has not been selected for the Club World Cup squad and the players are currently on holiday, which means that Grealish will not be in Pep Guardiola's plans for the new season, and the player will need to find a home in this summer window, or face a situation where he will not be able to play with the ball. The only possible option at the moment is for Manchester City to take part of Grealish's salary, or even half, before Napoli will take Grealish on loan to test the waters, and then buy it out in the summer window next year.

From a personal point of view, the 29-year-old Grealish is powerful, but he is one of the most undisciplined players in England, excessive drinking has ruined his career, I feel that after Manchester City won the Champions League, Grealish has not woken up, and now he has completely lost his position in Manchester City, I can only blame myself, seek to change the team and start over! A loan move to Napoli with Kevin De Bruyne could be a good option for a fresh start, along with former Premier League players Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay.

Grealish came through the Aston Villa academy and developed into a star and England international, the player moved from Aston Villa to Manchester City in the summer of 2021 for a whopping €118 million transfer fee, but his development clearly fell short of expectations, and he lost his place at Manchester City after a long period of heavy drinking, and even failed to be selected for the Club World Cup.

The 29-year-old Grealish, a 1.80-metre-tall, right-footed player who plays as a left winger, has two years left on his contract with Manchester City, with an estimated value of €28 million until 2027. Grealish made 32 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions last season, including 16 starts, playing a total of 1,521 minutes, contributing three goals and five assists, including one goal and one assist in 20 Premier League games.
