Over his time at City, the 31-year-old has been part of a squad that won 19 major trophies, including six Premier League titles, a UEFA Champions League crown, two FA Cups, five League Cups, three Community Shields, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

During that time, John Stones also chipped in with 19 goals and nine assists, with the possibility of adding more trophies as Manchester City continues to compete for both the Premier League and the FA Cup.

Known for his excellent technique, Stones became a perfect fit for Pep Guardiola's system. His versatility also allowed him to excel in a hybrid role, often stepping into midfield--most notably during the 2023 UEFA Champions League Final. (ANI)
