John Stones is set to leave Man City, with several top clubs reportedly interested in signing the experienced defender, including Juventus.
The Bianconeri have monitored the England international for several seasons, and this summer could finally provide them with an opportunity to bring him to Turin despite the defender no longer being considered at the peak of his career.
Stones is preparing to leave City when his contract expires in the next three days, bringing an end to a highly successful spell at the Etihad Stadium, where he won multiple major honours.
Juventus considering defensive reinforcement
--------------------------------------------
With Pep Guardiola also departing, City are entering a new era, and Stones is believed to be searching for a fresh challenge after many successful years in England.
That situation has encouraged Juventus to evaluate whether a move for the defender would strengthen Luciano Spalletti’s squad ahead of the new season.
Despite dealing with several injury setbacks in recent campaigns, Stones remains highly regarded and continues to be viewed as one of England’s leading centre-backs. His inclusion in the national team’s World Cup squad further underlines the level at which he is still respected.
Juventus are continuing to assess defensive options as they attempt to build a squad capable of competing strongly in both domestic and European competitions next season.
Future decision yet to be made
------------------------------
According to [Tuttomercatoweb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/juventus/?action=read&idnet=dHV0dG9qdXZlLmNvbS03ODMzNjY), Juventus are considering a move for Stones because they believe his experience and leadership qualities could provide important value within the squad.
However, the Bianconeri have not yet decided whether they will make a formal approach for the defender as they continue evaluating several possible transfer targets.
For now, Stones remains fully focused on England’s World Cup campaign, although his contract situation allows him the freedom to negotiate with potential new clubs before the start of next season.
As a soon-to-be free agent, the defender is expected to attract significant interest across Europe in the coming weeks while he considers the next stage of his career.
