As revealed from The Sun, Stanley-Jones will officially move to Man City Academy after the Etihad team accepted half a million pounds to complete the deal. A source describes the boy as follows: “He is big, strong but at the same time very skillful and calm.”
Stanley-Jones will definitely dream of following seniors like Foden, Palmer, Lewis, Oscar Bobb or James Mcatee. While Foden, Lewis and Bobb are currently the pillar in the squad of Pep Guardiola, Cole Palmer has shone brightly at Chelsea since leaving City in 2023. Mcatee has also left a mark with two successful loan seasons at Sheffield United before moving to NoteTingham Forest last summer for £ 30 million.
However, while the future of Stanley-Jones is open, Man City's current is quite gloomy. The Premier League champion is having a bad start in the 2025/26 season when he only won 3 points after 3 rounds and ranked 13th. Guardiola and his students were forced to find the inspiration for victory after the international vacation, when they confront the rival Man United on September 14.
