Manchester City defender John Stones has revealed he will depart the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season, bringing an end to a successful six-year spell with the Premier League champions.
According to AS, Stones expressed his gratitude towards the club and its fans, stating he has ‘lived all my dreams out’ during his time at Manchester City.
Background
Stones joined Manchester City from Everton in 2016 for a reported fee of £47.5 million. He has since established himself as a key member of the team, helping the club win numerous honours, including four Premier League titles.
Despite being linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain in the past, Stones has consistently stated his commitment to Manchester City. However, with his contract set to expire in the summer, it appears he will be leaving the club.
Reaction
Stones’ decision to leave Manchester City has sparked a mix of emotions among the club’s fans. While some will be sad to see him go, others will be excited to see what the future holds for the defender.
Manchester City’s upcoming fixtures will be crucial in determining their fate in the Premier League. With the title already secured, attention will turn to the Champions League, where the club will face a tough test against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
Up next
Manchester City host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium on May 5, kick-off 8:00pm BST. The match will be a chance for the club to say goodbye to Stones, as well as other players who are out of contract this summer.
