Sunderland have sent Manchester City a formal loan offer for Jack Grealish, 30, with City expected to cover part of his £300,000-a-week wages and an option to buy likely included. Grealish is open to the move; Sunderland can offer Europa League football. Formal negotiations have not yet taken place, according to The Guardian. Grealish's City contract expires next summer.
