Man City dismiss claims Stones up for sale

Manchester City have dismissed reports of plans to sell John Stones.

The Mirror says City have no intention of selling John Stones this summer.

Reports have claimed the Premier League champions would consider selling the England defender, whose game time in the second half of the season has been limited by injury and increased competition for places.

But it is understood City remain happy with the progress the 23-year-old centre-back has made under manager Pep Guardiola and do not want to lose him.

Stones, a £47.5million signing from Everton two years ago, impressed in the first half of City's title-winning campaign but has not featured regularly since suffering a hamstring injury in November.
