Discussions about a new contract for John Stones at Manchester City are not taking place, and his most recent injury does not improve his situation.

According to Goal.com, John Stones is ready to sign a new contract at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola's side attempt to extend the England international's contract. Stones' current deal expires in the summer, and it is reported that both parties are open to extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium.

English defender John Stones, 31, is currently in contract talks with Manchester City. The club is unwilling to commit to anything more than a one-year extension to his current terms, which expire next summer, due to his age and injury problems. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a market value of €25 million. He has also been linked with several clubs, including a potential return to Everton.
