Inter Milan: John Stones gives his green light

Inter Milan is on the verge of reaching a major milestone in the pursuit of John Stones. The English defender has given his verbal agreement to join the Nerazzurri, who are eager to finalize the deal quickly in order to outpace competition from Juventus.

According to multiple reliable sources, John Stones has agreed in principle to a transfer to Inter. The Manchester City defender has reportedly reached an agreement with the Lombard club on a two-year contract, running until June 2028, with a salary estimated at €4 million net per season.

The discussions now focus on ironing out the final contractual details before moving on to the next stages of the deal.

Inter looking to beat Juventus to the punch

The Inter board is pushing to wrap up the signing of the England international as quickly as possible, aiming to prevent Juventus from getting further involved in negotiations. This sense of urgency is fueled by growing interest in the player from several clubs.

At the same time, the option of signing Cristian Romero remains on the table. However, Inter is currently focusing its efforts on John Stones, who is seen as the immediate top priority.

Romero remains in play

The Cristian Romero file is not closed. It could even be revived if Benjamin Pavard were to leave Inter during this transfer window.

For now, the Nerazzurri are prioritizing the finalization of John Stones's arrival, aiming to strengthen their defense swiftly before the competition becomes more intense.
