In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the football world, Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart have agreed a season-long loan deal for Jack Grealish from Premier League champions Manchester City.

The 28-year-old England international, known for his flair, creativity, and ability to unlock defences, will join Stuttgart for the 2025/26 season. Sources close to the negotiations reveal that the deal was finalized late last night after days of intense talks between the two clubs.

Grealish, who joined Manchester City from Aston Villa in 2021 for a then-British record fee of £100 million, has enjoyed domestic and European success under Pep Guardiola. However, increased competition for places in City’s attacking midfield – coupled with an injury-plagued 2024/25 campaign – meant that regular first-team opportunities were becoming scarce.

For Stuttgart, currently pushing for a top-four finish in the Bundesliga, this signing marks one of the most high-profile arrivals in the club’s recent history. Sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth hailed the move as “a statement of intent,” stating:

“Jack Grealish is a world-class player. His vision, dribbling ability, and experience at the highest level will bring a new dimension to our attack. We believe he will thrive in the Bundesliga.”

Reports indicate that Manchester City will cover a portion of Grealish’s wages, with Stuttgart paying the rest. While the agreement is a straight loan without an immediate purchase option, insiders say Stuttgart could revisit the idea of a permanent deal depending on the player’s impact and future circumstances.

Grealish is expected to arrive in Germany later this week for his medical and official unveiling. Stuttgart fans are already buzzing with excitement, with social media flooded by messages of welcome and speculation about how he will fit into Sebastian Hoeneß’s dynamic, high-tempo style of play.

The move also adds further intrigue to this season’s Bundesliga title race, with Stuttgart hoping Grealish’s arrival can help close the gap to perennial giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

If all goes according to plan, Grealish could make his Stuttgart debut in their upcoming league clash after the international break — a fixture that is now certain to draw global attention.
