Take a look at the odds for where defender John Stones will be plying his trade next season.

It was confirmed at the end of April that Stones would depart Manchester City after 10 years of service at the Etihad following the expiration of his contract.

The central defender played a prominent role in England's path to the World Cup semi-finals, featuring five times for his country before they were defeated by Argentina.

We take a look at which clubs are in the market to sign Stones before the new season commences.

John Stones Next Club Odds

Odds will display when market is available. Market settled on player's club on 1st September 2026.

The Athletic have credited Arsenal with an interest in John Stones as the Gunners seek central defensive cover, and they now lead the betting to secure his signature.

While the reigning Premier League champions are by no means short in the defensive department, William Saliba is set to miss the start of the 2026/27 campaign and this could force the club back into the market for an experienced right-sided centre back.

The 32-year-old undoubtedly fits the bill, but it's yet to be seen as to whether his affiliation with Arsenal's top-flight title rivals Manchester City could impact a potential deal.

Inter Milan and Juventus have shortened in the betting after Fabrizio Romano reported that both clubs are in talks with the former Citizen.

Chelsea have emerged as possible contenders for Stones' signature as Xabi Alonso looks to add to his centre-back options, but the imminent arrival of Maxence Lacroix could see their interest cool.

Former club Everton are expected to be on the lookout for backline reinforcements this summer and feature somewhat prominently in the betting to capture the signing of the England defender.

Stones spent three years at the Merseyside club, establishing himself as one of England's most promising centre back talents before securing a move to Manchester City for £47.5m.

Bayern Munich are another big club who have been mentioned as potential suitors for Stones, which would see the defender reunite with former team mate Vincent Kompany. Stones looks destined for a career in the dugout and may relish the opportunity of working with a former Pep Guardiola player, who is now experiencing plenty of success in Germany.
