Inter Milan accelerates talks for John Stones transfer from free agency

Inter Milan is progressing in negotiations for John Stones, formerly of Manchester City, as they look to enhance their defensive lineup. The club initially considered signing Cristian Romero from Tottenham, but reports indicate a shift in focus towards Stones, who is open to a move abroad. With the player potentially signing a two-year deal worth €4 million per season, final contract details are being discussed. This move comes as Inter aims to shore up their defense, with Stefan De Vrij and Francesco Acerbi likely leaving the team. Optimism surrounds the completion of the deal as Inter continues to push for Stones’ arrival.
