As well as Pep Guardiola and Bernardo Silva, another club legend is departing the Etihad this summer: John Stones.
Stones, Guardiola’s second signing at City in 2016, was hugged by the City boss as he left the pitch to a guard of honour and standing ovation against Aston Villa on Sunday.
“Johnny, Johnny Stones” bellowed from the stands as fans said goodbye.
He has made 293 appearances since joining from Everton for £47.5m in 2016 and helped City win six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups, five League Cups, three Community Shields, the Club World Cup and the Uefa Super Cup.
Not a bad collection of silverware, that…
