John Stones set to join Inter Milan, Arsenal misses out

John Stones is reportedly nearing a free transfer to Inter Milan, leaving Arsenal without one of their defensive targets. The center-back, who is out of contract with Manchester City, has been a focus for Arsenal amid injury concerns for William Saliba. Negotiations with Inter are ongoing, with hopes of finalizing the deal this week. Arsenal was also considering Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa and Como's Jacobo Ramon, but those paths appear complicated. Given Stones' injury history, uncertainty remains about Arsenal's next steps in the transfer market.
