Overview
- Stones left Manchester City as a free agent after his contract expired on June 30 and has agreed personal terms with Inter Milan on a deal running to June 2028.
- The contract is reported at about €4 million net per season and carries no option for a further 12 months, reflecting a shorter commitment than at his career peak.
- Inter have secured Stones despite interest from clubs across England and Europe, and they view him as an experienced, first-team option rather than a long-term project.
- Stones is expected to fly to Milan around July 30 to undergo medical checks before formalising the signing, with paperwork and the final signature pending those tests.
- Manchester City have already begun reshaping their defence after his departure, while Stones’s move gives him a new club environment and Champions League platform late in his career.
