Jack Grealish’s absence from England’s Euro 2024 squad has sparked humorous speculation among fans, with many suggesting he could now pursue a “four-week loan deal” with clubs in Ibiza.
The Manchester City forward was among seven players omitted from Gareth Southgate’s final selection for the European Championship, having struggled for form during the 2023–24 campaign despite adding another Premier League title to his accolades at the Etihad Stadium.
With his summer now free from international duty in Germany, Grealish is anticipated to indulge in some downtime.
Known for his extravagant celebrations following trophy victories with City, the 28-year-old may choose to unwind in Ibiza, a destination he is familiar with.
There, he could potentially team up with club owner Wayne Lineker, brother of former England striker Gary Lineker, for some leisurely pursuits on the White Isle.
One social media account has gone full Fabrizio Romano mode and posted: “BREAKING NEWS. Jack Grealish agrees 4-week loan deal to Ocean Beach – HERE WE GO.”
Wayne’s response to the post was simply “great news,” while George Lineker, Gary’s son, reacted with a series of laughing emojis.
While Grealish is likely to include a break in his off-season plans, he will also be eager to silence his critics when the 2024–25 campaign kicks off in August.
