John Stones set for Inter Milan switch after rejecting Arsenal & Chelsea

John Stones set for Inter Milan switch after rejecting Arsenal & Chelsea John Stones is on the verge of joining Inter Milan after reaching a verbal agreement with the Serie A giants, dealing a blow to admirers including Juventus, Chelsea and Arsenal . The England international has been available as a free agent since his Manchester City contract expired on June 30, bringing the curtain down on a glittering decade at the Etihad Stadium. According to Gianluca DiMarzio , Stones has now given the green light to Inter’s proposal and is expected to become the latest defensive addition for Cristian Chivu ahead of the new campaign. The move has not yet been formally completed as medical examinations are still to be scheduled before the agreement is signed off. He will replace Stefan De Vrij, who recently left for Greece. The deal is understood to be a two-year contract worth €4 million per season, with both parties expected to finalise the paperwork in the coming days. Inter have been searching for defensive reinforcements this summer, and Stones’ experience at the highest level is a major asset as they prepare to challenge on multiple fronts. The 32-year-old’s versatility is another key attraction. Comfortable in either a back four or a three-man defence, Stones has also excelled in a hybrid role that allows him to step into midfield and dictate possession when required. His arrival would hand Chivu a proven winner and leader in a squad aiming to retain their Serie A crown and prove themselves in Europe again. During his time at City, he collected six Premier League titles, three FA Cups, three League Cups and the Champions League, playing a pivotal role in Pep Guardiola’s dominant era.
