Transfer Market: After Ten Years at Manchester City, Stones Heads to Inter

England international defender John Stones has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Inter Milan and is set to become the newest defensive reinforcement for Chivu's squad next season, according to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio on Monday.

The player, who featured for England in the 2026 World Cup, was a free agent after his contract with Manchester City expired on June 30th. Stones spent ten trophy-laden seasons at the Etihad and was a key figure in Pep Guardiola's formidable side over the last decade, despite being hampered by injuries in recent years.

According to Pasquale Guarro of Italy's Sky Sport, the deal involves a two-year contract with an annual salary of four million euros. Both parties are now expected to formalize the agreement, though medical examinations have not yet been scheduled.
