Inter Nearing Deal for Experienced Defender John Stones
Serie A champions Inter Milan are reportedly on the verge of signing former Manchester City defender John Stones.
Following his departure from Manchester City at the end of his contract, Stones participated in the World Cup and impressed multiple clubs. While Juventus initially made contact, Inter is now believed to be leading the race for his signature.
According to reports, Inter is accelerating their pursuit of Stones as a move for Tottenham's Cristian Romero appears to be proving difficult. Stones has expressed openness to an international transfer, despite interest from English clubs.
The transfer is said to be progressing well, with the final contract details being ironed out. Stones could sign a two-year contract worth €4 million per season. There is optimism surrounding the move, as Stones would provide a dependable and experienced option in defense, especially with Stefan De Vrij and Francesco Acerbi potentially departing.
