England centre-back John Stones has completed a free transfer to Inter Milan after ending his 10-year stay at Manchester City, the Serie A champions announced on Thursday.
The 32-year-old left City following the expiration of his contract at the end of last month while representing England at the FIFA World Cup, where the Three Lions secured a third-place finish.
Inter confirmed that Stones has signed a two-year contract with the Italian club.
The experienced defender made five appearances for England at the World Cup hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada. He earned his 94th international cap in England’s semi-final defeat to Argentina.

Stones was a key player for Manchester City during their golden era under former manager Pep Guardiola, winning six Premier League titles, three FA Cups, three League Cups and a Champions League crown with the club.
His final few seasons at the Etihad Stadium, though, were hit by injuries, and he only made nine Premier League appearances last term.
Stones could make his Inter debut when they start their Scudetto defence against Monza at the San Siro on August 22.
