Can Antonio Conte revive Jack Grealish as well.
The British Tribune reported on the 17th (Korea time) 'Napoli is considering recruiting Grealish'
Tribuna 'Napoli is considering signing Manchester City winger Grealish. Grealish has been sluggish for two seasons and is in a situation where he needs to find a new team. Tottenham and Everton also showed interest, but Napoli's interest is growing. Napoli is preparing an official offer, but Grealish's weekly salary is twice the amount Napoli can afford,' he said.

Grealish is likely to leave Manchester City after the 2024-2025 season. Grealish, who moved to Manchester City in 2021 with a transfer fee of £100 million (about 180 billion won), the highest ever for an English player, was highly anticipated as soon as he joined Aston Villa.
However, Grealish's performance was a little off Man City's expectations. Grealish, who suffered ups and downs in the first season, raised expectations again by playing in the European Champions League, league, and FA Cup along with Manchester City's achievement of treble in the 2022-2023 season. However, in the 2023-2024 season, Grealish had more time to return to the bench and rarely rebounded as he lost his seat to Jeremy Doku.

It was serious enough to finish 2024 without scoring a goal. Grealish has also been criticised for failing to score a single goal in more than a year from December 16, 2023, to the FA Cup match against Salford on January 12, 2025. This season still hasn't shown a clear rebound.
Grealish, who lost his seat, is being mentioned as a target for Manchester City's sales this summer. English Premier League (EPL) clubs such as Everton, Aston Villa, and Tottenham are also showing interest. However, the most active team is Napoli, led by Conte. Conte led Son Heung-min as the top scorer when he was at Tottenham, and after his appointment in Naples, he made Scott McTominay the league MVP and received great acclaim. Attention is focusing on whether Conte will be able to rebound again if he recruits Grealish.
