Man City include John Stones in six-player summer exit list

Per The Athletic, City have added six players to a shortlist of potential sales, with Stones amongst them. He is joined by Nico O’Reilly, Mateo Kovacic, Gundogan, Claudio Echeverri and Oscar Bobb, although the latter is unlikely to leave after missing the entirety of the season through injury.

Stones was limited to just 11 Premier League appearances last season, as he had to deal with foot and hamstring injuries. The club signed Abdukodir Khusanov in January, so have essentially replaced the England international already.

City have been active in the transfer market and have signed Tijjani Reinders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Rayan Cherki already this summer. They now need to trim their numbers, and have already sold Kyle Walker to Burnley, while also seeing Kevin De Bruyne leave for Napoli.

City appear focused on outgoings at this point when it comes to transfer business. They face Palermo in a pre-season friendly on August 9.
