Stones is expected to arrive in Italy on July 30 to complete the remaining formalities after enjoying his summer break following England’s participation at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The transfer is expected to be finalized once the medical process is completed and all documentation is signed.
Fresh challenge awaits in italy
The move will see Stones reunite with former Manchester City teammate Manuel Akanji, who is already part of Inter Milan’s squad.
