MusaIt’s always refreshing to see footballers showing genuine love and respect for each other—and that’s exactly what happened between Manchester City stars Jack Grealish and Mateo Kovacic.
After a season of shared battles, brilliant football, and bonding behind the scenes, Kovacic recently said his goodbyes to Man City fans and teammates. The Croatian midfielder is reportedly on his way out of the club, and before making his exit, he took to social media to thank everyone who had been a part of his City journey—teammates, staff, and especially the fans.
But it was Jack Grealish’s warm response that really caught people’s attention.
“Thank you, bro,” Grealish replied with love and appreciation, along with a heart emoji. Simple, but it says a lot. Grealish and Kovacic clearly built a good friendship during their time at City, and the mutual respect between them was easy to see on and off the pitch.
Fans of the club also chimed in, sharing their thoughts in the comments. Many thanked Kovacic for his contributions to the team, even though his time at City was short. Others praised Grealish for always being such a genuine guy—never too proud to show kindness or say a proper goodbye.
This moment was a nice reminder that football isn’t just about goals and trophies—it’s also about relationships. The chemistry between players can make or break a season, and when teammates get along like this, it brings a sense of unity that fans really love to see.
Kovacic joined City from Chelsea and helped the club through some big moments. Though he didn’t play every match, his presence in midfield was felt whenever he stepped on the pitch. And judging by Grealish’s public reply, it’s clear that he’ll be missed—not just as a footballer, but as a friend.
Whether you’re a City fan or just someone who enjoys seeing good sportsmanship, this little interaction between Grealish and Kovacic is something worth smiling about. It’s the human side of football—something that reminds us all why we love the game in the first place.
As Kovacic moves on to his next chapter, fans and players alike will no doubt be wishing him the very best.
