Can the "Mr. 100 million" turn back when renting Everton?

Written by/Hanbing Four years ago on August 5, Grelish joined Manchester City with a transfer fee of 100 million pounds, becoming the first "100 million" in Manchester City and the Premier League. As the double-produced champion, Grelish was highly expected. However, four years later, his name is no longer on Manchester City's roster in the FA Cup final, and Grelish's tragic fate is destined.

On August 12, Everton confirmed that Grelish joined from Manchester City on loan, with the loan period being one season.

In the past four years, Grelish's net worth plummeted from 65 million euros to 28 million. Fans have forgotten the "Super Jack" of Manchester City's triple-champion season two years ago. The handsome guy with big backs may be even more memorable when he was on vacation to Ibiza Airport. On the way to the drunk Grelish could only walk with his teammate Walker, muttering, "I am a turkey, the turkey needs to be fed." He opened his mouth to ask for vodka from his teammate, and his clothes had long been soaked in champagne watered by Haaland. The reason why the carnival scene is impressive is that the media and fans believe that it is the watershed of the years of Grelish City. After three consecutive days of crazy life, he has not escaped from alcohol and nightlife in the following two seasons. Moreover, Mr. 100 million has suffered from injuries, especially the incurable groin injury, which has continued to recur, and it has not only taken away his main position, but also his confidence.

In two seasons, Grelish only started 6 times, missed the Cup final, and was also out of the 2024 European Cup roster in England.

Five months after losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup final, Guardiola revealed for the first time that his players were "a bit drunk". Before the FA Cup, Manchester City won four consecutive Premier League titles and had a night of carnival. Grelish was especially frightened - at that time, Manchester City players took their partners to rush to 5 a.m., and fans could understand Haaland, who had made outstanding contributions, but were very dissatisfied with Grelish, who was in a sluggish state throughout the season, becoming the protagonist. Since then, his private life and professional attitude have become the focus of media attention. In January this year, Guardiola severely criticized Grelish for the first time for his poor performance, when he started only four Premier League games and handed over a pitiful assist. Guardiola bluntly stated that Grelish must focus on himself to recover. Grelish not only has rich nightlife, but also had an affair scandal broke out in February this year. Grelish was photographed having a secret meeting with a mysterious girl just after his girlfriend Sasha Atwood gave birth to a child.

After Manchester City lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League, Greilish was photographed having a party with former models and going to bars. England coach Tuchel said, "This is obviously not what I expected."

In April, the Sun revealed that Greilish was the "soul character" of the Bagatelle restaurant party. In the video, Greilish jumped up and opened his arms to imitate Leonardo's iconic pose in the Hollywood blockbuster "Wolf of Wall Street" to show his enjoying a life of luxury. Manchester City vs. Crystal Palace, he played for 3 minutes and attended a luxury party in London the next day, with a drink bill of up to 5,000 pounds. De Bruyne, who is about to leave the team in May, held a team farewell party, and Grelish was the last player to leave...

Excellent dribbles, distinctive personality lowered socks, handsome hairstyle and smile, were once Grelish's label, but now only the last three are left. Everyone has to admit that Grelish, whose transfer fee is as high as 100 million pounds, is the most failed signing in Manchester City's history. But what defeated him was not injuries, but the heavy title of "Mr. 100 million" and the "early wealth" of 300,000 pounds a weekly salary. Leaving Everton is Grelish's last redemption for his career, and he still hopes to get a ticket to next year's World Cup.

For this reason, Grelish made a huge sacrifice in his income. British media initially claimed that Everton would bear 250,000 pounds of his weekly salary of 300,000 pounds, but in fact Grelish's weekly salary was significantly lower than this number. As for media reports that Everton bought out Grelish's 50 million transfer fee clause at the end of the season, there was not so much. Because he will turn 30 next year, this number is obviously unreasonable. Everton coach Moyes hopes to see Grelish two years ago in the new season, and Mr. 100 million hopes that so. But before that, he must stay away from tempting alcohol and nightlife.

Will the "Mr. 100 million" turn back? We will give you the answer at the end of the season.
