Manchester City defender, John Stones believes the team has what it takes to retain the Premier League title.
He made this known in an interview with TribalFootbal, stating that the sales of Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, and Oleksandr Zinchenko won’t affect their chances of winning the title.
“I’m always confident we can be successful. Whoever has come in, they have always been great from the start.
“It’s sad to see people go, whether it is retirement or wanting a new challenge and that’s hard because we have so many good friends and good memories on the pitch but we won’t forget those.
“You kind of don’t want that to end, you want those memories, but that’s football, there are always new people coming in and it is a credit to the backroom staff and people involved in recruiting that the character fit of players that have come in do so well in the team,” Gundogan said at the premiere of the documentary ‘Together: Champions Again!’
Pep Guardiola’s men will be looking to win their third consecutive title in the 2022/2023 campaign.
The city will begin the defence of its title at West Ham on August 7.
