Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca has responded to questions about Jack Grealish's future at Manchester City. The England international is back in training with City after a year-long loan deal at Everton and the question is whether he will stay with the reigning Premier League champions.  Maresca and Grealish have a close relationship, built during their time together at Manchester City, and the Leicester City manager now wanted to comment on the player's situation. In an interview with The Athletic, Maresca said: "I spoke to Jack when he came back. I wanted to know how he was feeling and how he was doing after this injury. I wanted to make sure he was at 100 percent before he started training. I also wanted to know what his goals were for this season. We talked about it and it was a very open conversation." Maresca continued: "Jack is a player who always wants to win. He has big ambitions and big goals. We've talked about it and I can say that he's ready to play again. I'm very happy that he's back and I hope he gets back to his best level quickly."  Jack Grealish moved from Aston Villa to Manchester City in the summer of 2021 for 117 million euros and is the most expensive transfer in football history. He wasn't fully convincing in his first season at City, but showed last season that he was fitting more and more into Pep Guardiola's playing system. Grealish made 50 appearances for the Skyblues last season, scoring 7 goals and assisting 11 more goals. He was also an important player for Guardiola in the Champions League season in which City won the tournament. Grealish himself came on as a substitute in the final against Inter Milan and had the decisive influence on the game, coming on for Riyad Mahrez, who didn't get into the game as well in the final as he had earlier in the season.  In total, the Englishman played in 6 games in the last Champions League season. Grealish was also an important player for the English national team at the last European Championship, where he was often used as a joker in coach Gareth Southgate's knockout tournament and will fit into England's game for the 2024 European Championship if he stays fit and gets enough playing time.

What happens next

Grealish is expected to continue to improve his fitness over the coming weeks and fight his way back into Manchester City's starting XI. Maresca has stressed that Grealish has big ambitions and is ready to give his best. The next games will show whether he can firmly establish himself in Pep Guardiola's playing system.
