John Stones to Juventus possibility grows as contacts expected soon

Juventus are closely monitoring developments surrounding John Stones, with the English defender reportedly set to leave Manchester City at the end of the current season.

According to Tuttosport, Stones will not continue his journey with the Premier League champions after a highly successful cycle filled with domestic and international trophies.

The 31-year-old centre-back is now expected to become one of the most high-profile free agents on the market, attracting attention from several top clubs across Europe and beyond.

The player’s profile is highly appreciated by Juventus, particularly by manager Luciano Spalletti, who values Stones’ technical ability and versatility in defence.

However, the club’s management is also carefully assessing his physical condition, given a series of injury issues in recent seasons that have raised concerns about long-term reliability.

Despite these reservations, Juventus are expected to open formal discussions in the coming weeks to better understand the feasibility of a potential deal. Stones, for his part, has not yet made a final decision regarding his next destination.

While there is strong interest from multiple Premier League sides, the English defender is reportedly intrigued by the idea of an experience abroad.

Alongside Juventus’ interest, opportunities remain open in the United States Major League Soccer and the Saudi Pro League, both of which continue to attract high-profile European players.

For now, Juventus remain on standby, ready to act if conditions align for what would be a major free transfer signing and a significant boost to their defensive line for the future.
