Juventus has initiated contacts for John Stones, who became a free agent after ten years at Manchester City. The Bianconeri are trying to get ahead of the competition from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Inter for the English defender.

According to Sky Sport, the Nerazzurri have been working on the Stones track for some time, but have not yet made a decisive move. The Inter management’s priority for the central defender role remains Cris Romero from Tottenham, a target confirmed by Ausilio himself.

There is a fierce competition brewing for Stones between Premier League clubs and Italian teams. The former City player is evaluating his options after his contract with the Citizens expired, while Juve is trying to step in to beat the competition.
