Overview
- Inter confirmed on Thursday that Stones has signed a two-year contract running to June 2028 after leaving Manchester City as a free agent.
- Reports put Stones’ salary at about €4 million net per season and note that wages plus agent fees raise Inter’s overall cost despite no transfer fee.
- Stones brings a decade of elite experience and strong World Cup form for England but carries a recent history of thigh and calf problems that limited his club minutes.
- Club sporting director Piero Ausilio said other defensive talks remain open, yet several outlets report Stones’ arrival reduces urgency for an expensive move for Cristian Romero and clears budget to chase Curtis Jones or right‑side additions.
- Analysts say the signing may briefly boost trading and engagement in Inter’s INTER fan token because those tokens move on sentiment and have thin liquidity rather than reflecting club ownership.
