Manchester City's Jack Grealish continues to have speculation around his upcoming future spoken about, with names such as Alan Shearer sharing his view.
Manchester City and Jack Grealish have been a big talking point as we approach the summer transfer window, the question looming whether he will be making an exit from the Premier League side or not.
It was suggested that Grealish could be staying beyond this season due to Manchester City not accepting loan deals, and with the player having such an expensive price tag, which could make it potentially tough for any other club to meet demands.
However, as time goes on, the more likely it does seem as if the player and club want to end their time together. After the FA Cup, where Manchester City lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace, the discussion remained at the forefront.
Written by The Manchester Evening News as Alan Shearer spoke on The Rest Is Football podcast, the former player said, "His time is up at Manchester City. He has to leave. For Guardiola to bring on a debutant (Claudio Echeverri) and Gundogan rather than Grealish when they're desperate for a goal, his time is up."
"He's done at Manchester City, he has to leave. For whatever reason, Guardiola is done with him; he doesn't like him. His time is up, it really is."
According to Shearar, like many others, Grealish cannot remain at Manchester City beyond a few weeks, as both sides are not benefiting from an extended stay.
It also has been said that Guardiola has an issue with Grealish, hence his decisions to exclude the player from making the starting team and also, bringing him on in crucial moments.
Of course, that is nothing but hearsay, but considering how the situation is playing out, it might not be very far from the truth.
There are only a few weeks left before the summer transfer window opens up, and we will learn what happens between the two.
The upcoming time with a vital period as Manchester City and Jack Grealish's story reaches a boiling point.
