John Stones is set to arrive in Milan on Thursday to undergo his medical and complete the formalities on his move to Inter Milan. The England international is now just one step away from finalising his transfer, with the Serie A giants preparing to welcome one of the Premier League’s most accomplished defenders.
Softfootball reports that Stones’ move comes after weeks of discussions, with all major aspects of the deal now agreed. The transfer also signals that John Stones is set to leave Manchester City as an era nears its end, bringing the curtain down on a hugely successful spell at the Etihad Stadium that included multiple Premier League titles, domestic cups and UEFA Champions League success.
Inter see Stones as a major addition to their defensive unit, with his composure on the ball, tactical intelligence and experience at the highest level expected to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign.
Once he successfully completes his medical examinations and signs the necessary paperwork, the transfer will be officially announced. Stones will then begin training with his new teammates as Inter continue preparations for the upcoming season, while Manchester City move forward with plans to reshape their defence following the departure of one of their most influential players.
