Introduction

On July 28, according to Fabrizio Romano, John Stones is joining Italian giant Inter on a free deal until June 2028 at around €4m net per season, with the medical set for Milan soon.

Contract Expire

The 32 year old defender left Manchester City after his contract expired due to the aging problem of Stones. Former Manchester City player added Champions League and Premier League titles before he left Manchester City.

John Stones’s Priorities

John Stones contract expired on end of June 2026 and signed a contract with Inter Milan after single month.

John Stones prioritized Inter’s back-three system and project over other Europeans teams who are viewed stronger compared to Inter.

My Perspective

In my perspective, this is a solid decision for John Stones and Inter Milan.

John Stones is a player with chronic injuries and poor performance under pressure however, he is very experienced player and a great rotational player for Inter Milan.

We should not expect Stones to play every match but he can be a great substitue. His vision and experience is making him special.

In overall, John Stones is a amazing player who could contribute to Inter Milan however, he is suffering with chronic injuries that could block his performance
