John Stones could make a shock return to Everton to keep his World Cup dream alive. Despite Pep Guardiola's willingness to keep him at Manchester City, Stones needs regular games to have a chance in England's World Cup squad. Guardiola would let him leave for a minimal fee to help facilitate his move and adjust personal terms, given his £250,000-a-week contract and injury history. Everton is unlikely to match his current salary package, but the transfer may happen as a gesture from City.

John Stones has been told by Manchester City to find a new club during the summer transfer window as part of a large squad overhaul. Reported by Sacha Tavolieri via Sky Sports.

John Stones might be sold due to injury issues and the club's investment in younger defenders. City might cash in on him while they still can.

Manchester City will consider offers for centre-back John Stones this summer as they look to finance their ongoing rebuild.
