Mirror: Stones discusses contract renewal with Manchester City and is expected to sign a new contract to 2028

Hupu, September 26, According to the English media Mirror, Manchester City will soon start contract renewal negotiations with the team's main defender Stones. The England international's current contract expires after the end of this season, but both sides are interested in extending their cooperation.

31-year-old Stones will officially start contract renewal negotiations with Manchester City management and is expected to sign a new contract until 2028. The Three Lions centreback is eager to devote the golden years of his career to the Blue Moon, and club chairman Mubarak is determined to avoid his free departure next summer.

Stones has won 15 important trophys with the team, including six Premier League titles since transferring from Everton in 2016. And in the journey of Manchester City's historic triple-winning champion in 2023, he is an indispensable key puzzle under Guardiola. He has played 281 times for the team in eight years, and has played 83 games for the national team since completing his debut in 2014.

With the background of Guardiola's repeated lineup changes during his coaching period, Stones has always been one of the main players in the defense. His peak state is enough to compete for the title of world's No. 1 central defender, and has also established a deep master-apprenticeship with the famous Spanish coach.

Although he missed this England training camp due to injury, if the Three Lions successfully advance to the World Cup jointly organized by the United States, Canada and Mexico next year, Stones is very likely to be selected for the final roster coached by Tuchel.
