Jack Grealish has been handed a £1,044 court bill and six penalty points after failing to tell police who was driving his £210,000 Lamborghini when it ran a red light in Liverpool last September. According to Bbc.com.

Grealish faces court penalty after failing to identify Lamborghini driver

The 30-year-old attacking midfielder, currently on loan at Everton from Manchester City, was prosecuted by Merseyside Police following the incident on the outskirts of Liverpool city centre. His distinctive sky blue supercar was caught on camera passing through the traffic signal 1.4 seconds after it had changed to red.

The incident occurred at just after 23:30 BST on 12 September, the night before Grealish played for Everton in a 0-0 Premier League clash with his former side Aston Villa. Police sent letters to properties in Manchester and Cheshire requesting confirmation of who was driving, but the England international failed to comply with the requests.

Liverpool Magistrates handed down the penalty in a closed-door hearing last Thursday, with Magistrate Paul Farquhar imposing a £660 fine plus £120 costs and a £264 victim surcharge. While the original charge of running a red light was withdrawn, Grealish was found guilty of failing to provide driver identification information.

The court case emerges as Grealish revealed this week that his 2025/26 season for Everton has been ended by injury. The midfielder, whose £100m transfer to Manchester City in 2021 made him the most expensive British player ever at the time, did not enter a plea and the matter was dealt with in his absence.
