Official: John Stones Joins Inter Milan on Free Transfer After Manchester City Exit
England defender John Stones has officially completed a high-profile move to Italian giants Inter Milan on a free transfer. The veteran centre-back parted ways with Manchester City upon the expiration of his contract in June 2026, ending a legendary ten-year career at the Etihad Stadium.
Stones has signed a lucrative two-year contract at the San Siro that keeps him in Milan until June 2028. The ball-playing defender arrives looking for a fresh start in Serie A after battling persistent injuries that limited him to just nine league appearances last season.
This monumental signing marks the very first time in the thirty-two-year-old’s professional career that he will play for a football club outside of England.

The English international brings elite championship pedigree to the Nerazzurri backline fresh off helping his country secure a third-place bronze medal at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
