Manchester City's club-record signing Jack Grealish is reportedly worried that he could be sold in January as transfer news comes out of Eastlands.

The Lowdown: Grealish debate...

The former Aston Villa star has been central to plenty of debate since his £100m move to the Etihad Stadium in 2021.

Grealish has enjoyed some brilliant moments in sky blue, especially this season as the World Cup-bound England international has been praised for some truly influential performances.

However, despite being among City's top ten performers statistically, a major point of contention consistently brought up by the media is his lack of goals and assists.

Speaking to the press, Pep Guardiola has repeatedly attempted to put that theory to bed by revealing he did not sign the playmaker solely for numbers, but also for what Grealish does off the ball and how he is perfect at playing between the lines.

Nonetheless, discussions continue to surround the 27-year-old's suitability for the Premier League champions.

The Latest: Grealish fears Guardiola chop...

As per a fresh report, Grealish apparently holds a concern that Guardiola could decide to sell him as soon as January.

Football Insider claim that the England midfielder 'fears' his manager could wield the axe either next summer or mid-season and is 'struggling to come to terms' with his 'second string status' at the Etihad.

It's added that Grealish is said to be 'gutted' and 'devastated' over not getting the nod against Liverpool during their 1-0 defeat at Anfield last month.

The Verdict: Pinch of salt...

We believe that this report should be taken with a pinch of salt, given that the player has enjoyed some exceptional moments this season and appears to be steadily gaining more of an influence when handed the opportunity.

Bar his few untouchables, Guardiola is famous for perpetually rotating his squad to cope with the demands of an intense and congested fixture schedule.

Grealish is no exception to this, and we believe that the 2-year-old can be a real asset to City when he's at his very best, as already explained by none other than the club's manager.
