Former Manchester United centre-back, Rio Ferdinand has told Manchester City player, Jack Grealish three clubs he should consider joining after he finally leaves Etihad Stadium.
Grealish’s time at the Cityzens appears to be nearing its end after head coach Pep Guardiola excluded him from the squad for the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup.
The 29-year-old struggled for regular playing game-time under Guardiola last season and was also left out of the City’s squad that lost the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace.
The attacking midfielder is expected to leave City this summer transfer window and Ferdinand wants the England international to join Napoli, Marseille or a Saudi Arabia club.
“I”d advise Jack Grealish to play where he’ll be happy,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
“He needs to find happiness with himself playing football but also within a team.
“If I’m him, you know where I would go? Saudi.”
He added, “I would love to see Grealish in Napoli, that atmosphere.
“[Also] Marseille with Roberto de Zerbi, where I know the fans will love him.”
Grealish’s contract with Manchester City will expire in 2027. He had joined the former Premier League champions from Aston Villa some years ago.
