England defender John Stones is reportedly in advanced discussions with Inter Milan about a move to the Italian club on a free transfer.
Stones became a free agent after leaving Manchester City at the end of June, and his availability has attracted significant interest from clubs across Europe, including Chelsea and Juventus. Inter, the reigning Serie A champions, are said to have held positive talks with the 32-year-old and are currently viewed as the frontrunners to secure the Premier League and Champions League winner on a two-year deal.

During his time there, he helped City win six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups, five League Cups, three Community Shields, the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.
The former Barnsley defender has earned 93 caps for England and was part of the national team that finished third at this summer’s World Cup.
