John Stones on new look Manchester City ahead of new Premier League season
John Stones stated Manchester City are determined to regain the Premier League title after an "underwhelming" 2024-25 season where they finished third.
Stones described last season's performance, which saw them surrender the title to Liverpool and finish behind Arsenal, as "not good" by the club's standards.
The defender, now fit after an injury-hit period, dismissed speculation about his future, affirming his commitment to Manchester City despite being in the final year of his contract.
New signings, including Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Tijjani Reijnders, have been integrated into the squad as part of an ongoing refresh.
Manchester City will play a friendly against Palermo on Saturday before commencing their Premier League campaign against Wolves on 16 August.
