John Stones is set to leave Manchester City at the end of the 2026 World Cup, with Inter Milan confirmed as his next destination. The England defender will bring to a close a nine-year spell at the Etihad, where he won multiple Premier League titles and the Champions League.
Move to Serie A
Stones will join the Italian club after the conclusion of the tournament in the United States. Inter have been long-term admirers of the centre-back, who has been a key figure for both club and country.
End of an era at City
His departure marks the end of a highly successful period at Manchester City, where he arrived from Everton in 2016. Stones played a pivotal role in Pep Guardiola’s system, helping the club dominate English football and win the European Cup in 2023.
