Man City outcast Jack Grealish shared an update for supporters after fresh speculation over his future at the club.
Man City players have returned to training following their involvement in the summer’s Club World Cup and their surprise defeat to Al-Hilal.
One player not involved in the tournament was Jack Grealish, who was left out of Man City’s squad by Pep Guardiola.
His lack of game time throughout last season, along with that omission, has only intensified rumours surrounding a potential exit.
Former City financial advisor Stefan Borson told Football Insider on 6 August that Aston Villa are one of the most likely destinations for Grealish should he leave the Etihad this summer and that City will “subsidise” a potential deal.
Now, the 29-year-old has shared a fresh update online as questions over his future continue to mount.

Man City held an open training session on 5 August at the Joie Stadium, which typically hosts fixtures for their women’s team.
Despite ongoing rumours surrounding his future, Grealish was involved in the session and later shared an Instagram story featuring several photos from the day.
While City usually train at the Etihad Campus, this public session formed part of a shortened pre-season schedule ahead of their opening Premier League fixture against Wolves.
Whether the former Aston Villa star will be part of that matchday squad remains unclear.
Football Insider exclusively revealed that Grealish has privately told friends he doesn’t expect to be at Man City next season, feeling he has been “frozen out” by Guardiola.
He has been linked with a number of Premier League sides, including Newcastle and Tottenham, while former Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has publicly urged Aston Villa to bring Grealish back to Villa Park.
The 29-year-old started just seven Premier League games last season, and with Villa in the market for a new attacker, a return for Grealish could be on the cards.

While Grealish appears increasingly likely to move on, Guardiola’s side have made a firm decision to retain one of their top young talents.
Football Insider revealed that Man City have agreed a new deal with Nico O’Reilly, despite Chelsea previously submitting an offer to sign him.
The Blues made an offer worth up to £40 million back in the winter window, but it now appears the City hierarchy have made significant progress in securing the midfielder’s future, underlining his importance to the club’s long-term plans.
