Jack Grealish would prefer to rejoin Everton should he leave Manchester City in the remaining days of the transfer window, sources have told BBC Sport. The England international, who moved to the Etihad from Aston Villa in 2021, has been linked with an exit as clubs adjust squads late in the window.
Sources speaking to BBC Sport say Grealish's first choice would be a return to Goodison Park, where he enjoyed a successful spell earlier in his career. Any move would depend on negotiations between the clubs and agreement on terms, and the transfer would need to be concluded before the window shuts.
Separately, Manchester City are reported to be assessing interest in a player identified as Ndiaye. Details on the player's identity, current club or the nature of City's interest were not disclosed in the reports, and no formal bids have been confirmed.
With the transfer window entering its final days, clubs across England are engaged in last-minute talks to reshape squads. Any developments involving Grealish or Ndiaye would be subject to official announcements from the clubs involved and formal registration before the deadline.
