Everton may lose Jack Grealish as Sunderland makes loan offer

Summary

Everton faces competition from Sunderland for Jack Grealish, following a formal loan bid reported by Mark Douglas. Grealish, who spent last season on loan at Everton, has returned to fitness after a foot injury. Manchester City has made him available for sale or permanent transfer before the September 1st deadline. Sunderland's aggressive offer includes salary coverage and an option-to-buy clause, challenging Everton's loan-only strategy. David Moyes is under pressure to secure Grealish, who contributed significantly to Everton's midfield last season.
