John Stones is expected to leave Manchester City when his contract expires in June \u2013 completing an illustrious 10-year spell at the club.<\/p>\n
The England centre-back has won the Champions League, six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, three Carabao Cups and a UEFA Super Cup since he signed in 2016 from Everton.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old could yet add two more trophies – another Premier League title and an FA Cup – before he departs as a free agent, as Man City chase a treble-winning season.<\/p>\n
Stones is set to follow Bernardo Silva<\/strong> out of the Etihad, after it was announced last week the Portugal forward would be leaving when his contract expires on June 30.<\/p>\nHe has spent nine years at the club, joining from Monaco in 2017 – a year after Stones’ arrival.<\/p>\nMan City assistant coach Pep Lijnders made a surprise announcement to confirm Silva’s rumoured departure earlier in April, saying “every good story comes to an end”, and it was further confirmed by the club last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n Wednesday 22nd April 7:00pm\n <\/span>\n <\/p>\n Kick off 8:00pm\n <\/span><\/p>\n\n \n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\nBarcelona <\/strong>and Juventus <\/strong>remain among the clubs who want to sign Silva on a free transfer this summer.<\/p>\nBoth clubs have been long-term admirers of the Portugal star but they are not the only clubs interested and Silva is not thought to have made a final decision yet on his next club.<\/p>\nThe 31-year-old has long been linked with moves to Saudi Arabia or MLS in the United States too.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPlease use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<\/p>\n \n \n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n Erling Haaland thinks Bernardo Silva is the ‘smartest player’ he has ever played with after the Portugal midfielder announced he is leaving Manchester City at the end of the season<\/span>\n <\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\nHowever, the future of midfielder Rodri<\/strong> remains unresolved.
