sportsApr 28, 20261269

Manchester City confirmed England defender John Stones will leave the club in June when his contract expires, ending a ten-year spell since he joined in 2016. Stones made 293 appearances for City and won 19 major trophies, including multiple Premier League titles and one Champions League. His exit removes the last player remaining from Pep Guardiola's initial 2016-17 squad. He departs as a free agent, giving other clubs an experienced England center-back option and forcing City to reshuffle their defense ahead of next season.
