The Cityzens could sign Ndiaye in a player-plus-cash move, with Grealish heading the other way.<\/p>\n<h3>Playing time<\/h3>\n<p>Grealish had a very bright start with the Toffees last campaign. He registered four assists in his first three league games before his performances dipped. Still, it was a relatively good loan season for him before a season-ending injury.<\/p>\n<p>Villa seem interested in a reunion with their former captain this summer, but it is unsurprising that Grealish prefers to join the Toffees, given he could be assured a starting role ahead of Tyrick George on the left wing, with Ndiaye poised to leave the club soon.<\/p>\n<p>At Villa, the Englishman may have to adjust to a rotational starting spot on the left flank. Manager Unai Emery could play Alejandro Garnacho, Emiliano Buendia or even George Hemmings, who started in the position in the 4-0 loss to Brighton &amp; Hove Albion on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Grealish played 90 minutes in almost every league game for Everton last term when fit, and he has probably been offered a similar guarantee which Villa can\u2019t. It could be a matter of time before the 30-year-old makes the permanent switch to the Toffees.<\/p>\n<p>Man City are pushing to land Ndiaye as a wide attacking situation. The Toffees value him at <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JacobsBen\/status\/2092714909767229752\" rel=\"nofollow \" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u00a380 million<\/span><\/a>, but the final fee could be lowered to \u00a360m if Grealish acts as a makeweight in the deal.
