No new contract talks for Stones

John Stones is reportedly being kept waiting over talks about extending his present deal at Manchester City. His representatives were certain bosses at the Etihad would make their move earlier this summer, with the England central defender’s deal set to expire in 2022.
And the early sounds were encouraging, although the word now coming out of City is that they will not be rushed into handing him new improved terms, despite his contract running down.
Stones, who arrived from Everton for £50m in 2016, has made it clear he is happy at the club and would like nothing more than to commit his peak years to the Premier League champions.
However, the 25-year-old suffered a loss of form towards the end of last season and also split up from his long-term partner, which has not been easy for the Barnsley-born defender.
