The arrival of Stones sends a clear message from Inter. The Nerazzurri club, fresh from winning the scudetto and the Coppa Italia two months ago, intends to continue along the path of a winning culture, always aiming for the top. Opening the doors of Appiano Gentile to those with experience of success becomes the way forward.
In this vision, the signing of the English defender takes on a special meaning. Inter welcomes a new center-back, but above all a player who has lifted twenty trophies in his career. An average of two per season in his ten years at Manchester City.
In the city that gave birth to Oasis and The Smiths, the Barnsley native, whose surname contains part of the name of Mick Jagger’s band, arrived at 22 as a talent yet to be discovered. He left as a club icon. Now, at 32, he arrives in Milan with a top-level resume. A trophy cabinet already full, but one he wants to make room for more trophies in, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
