“Everton’s SHOCKING £250,000-a-Week Mega-Star Signing Bombshell – Jaw-Dropping Pay Cut Demanded!”

Everton Consider John Stones Reunion as New Era Begins

With Everton gearing up for a fresh chapter at Bramley-Moore Dock, manager David Moyes is set to oversee his first full transfer window under the ownership of The Friedkin Group.

The new regime is expected to provide greater financial backing, allowing the club to target higher-profile players and strengthen key areas of the squad.

One of Moyes’ top priorities this summer is reinforcing the defence, especially with ongoing speculation surrounding the future of Jarrad Branthwaite.

Interest from Premier League heavyweights such as Manchester City and Chelsea could see the promising centre-back depart, leaving a void at the heart of Everton’s backline.

According to the Sunday Mirror (1 June, page 70), Everton are now exploring the possibility of bringing John Stones back to Merseyside.

The England international, who began his top-flight career with the Toffees, has just one year remaining on his Manchester City contract.

Although he currently earns £250,000 per week, a move to Everton would likely require him to accept a significant pay cut.

City are reportedly open to letting Stones leave for a reasonable fee, and with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the 31-year-old may prioritize regular playing time to remain in Gareth Southgate’s plans.

Injury issues have limited his availability in recent seasons, and concerns about his ability to meet the physical demands at City could make a switch more feasible.

Bringing Stones back would be a strong statement from Everton as they seek to usher in a new era with stability and leadership.

While his past form may be difficult to replicate consistently, his defensive quality and experience are undeniable.

His presence would not only boost the team’s options on the pitch but also offer valuable leadership in the dressing room.

Wages remain the most significant obstacle in completing a deal, but the promise of regular minutes and a key role in Moyes’ rebuild could appeal to Stones—especially if he hopes to feature prominently for England in the lead-up to the World Cup.

A return to Everton could represent a fresh start for both player and club at a pivotal moment in their respective journeys.
