Manchester City will officially say goodbye to a quartet of players today as their contracts expire.
June 30 is when all football contracts run until, and this summer, two club legends and two academy prospects are leaving the Etihad Stadium.
Bernardo Silva and John Stones’ departures were announced in advance and both were given an emotional send off after the final Premier League game of the season against Aston Villa and again when City held a parade and after party the following day.
The two have played an integral part in the Blues’ success over the last decade, racking up countless trophies and memorable moments along the way.
Both are currently at the World Cup and Portugal’s Silva has confirmed his next move having signed for Real Madrid, now with Jose Mourinho back in charge. Stones’ next move is less clear, and the England defender will focus on his future after this summer’s tournament in North America.
Away from that duo, two youngsters are also leaving City, with Ashton Muir and Ezra Carrington departing.
Manchester-born Muir, who turns 21 in August, is a forward player capable of playing centrally or out wide and joined City aged eight. He played a part in City’s Premier League 2 play-off success in 2025 having missed most of that season through injury.
Carrington too had his injury issues at City, with the full-back missing 18 months before returning to fitness towards the tail end of the 2024/25 campaign. Another Manchester native, the 20-year-old will end a nine-year association with the Blues today.
