In a stunning revelation, John Stones has confirmed that he is open to a return to his boyhood club, Everton. The Manchester City defender, who has been a key player for the Citizens since his transfer in 2016, has seemingly changed his timeline, hinting at a potential return to Goodison Park.
Stones, who came through the Everton academy before making his professional debut with the Toffees, took to social media to express his heartfelt message to the fans. In a poignant post, Stones revealed that he has always cherished the memories of his time at Everton and that the club will always hold a special place in his heart.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about my career and my future, and I have to say that the thought of returning to Everton is really exciting me,” Stones wrote. “I know it’s not something that I thought would happen, but the more I think about it, the more I feel like it’s the right move for me.”
Stones’ message was met with widespread excitement from Everton fans, who have never forgotten the talented young defender who came through their academy. Many took to social media to express their delight at the prospect of Stones returning to the club, with some even calling for him to be made captain.
While nothing has been officially confirmed, Stones’ message has sparked speculation about a potential return to Everton. Manchester City, however, are unlikely to let him go without a fight, and it remains to be seen whether the Citizens will be willing to sell one of their key defenders.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Stones’ future remains uncertain. One thing is clear, though: if he does decide to return to Everton, he will be welcomed back with open arms by the Toffees faithful.
