John Stones is a free agent now as he competes for England at the 2026 World Cup, and Juventus wants to add him to their squad, according to a report by [Gianluca Di Marzio](https://www.gianlucadimarzio.com/calciomercato/stones-juventus-calciomercato-news-6-luglio-2026-494487). The defender is expected to decide his next move after the tournament, with his future still to be resolved.
The Englishman spent a decade at Manchester City before leaving as a free agent at the end of June. During his time at the club, Stones enjoyed a highly successful spell, winning all the club trophies, including the Champions League and many league crowns.
Juventus considers a move for John Stones
-----------------------------------------
Stones has built a strong reputation during his career and has shown his quality as a defender at the highest level. Although he has been affected by injuries during the last few seasons, there is no doubt about his ability and the impact he has made in his role.
The player was developed under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, where he was groomed to become one of the leading players in his position. A move to Turin could provide him with another opportunity to continue competing at the highest level of the game.
Juventus remains one of the top teams in the world, and the club could offer Stones the chance to extend his career with a major European side. The defender appears to be open to considering the possibility of joining them.
Juventus is still evaluating its options
----------------------------------------
However, Juve has not made their final decision regarding a move for Stones. The club is considering several aspects before approaching, including his age and his injury history.
The defender’s experience, achievements, and quality remain valuable factors that could influence Juventus’ decision. His time at Manchester City showed his ability to perform in important matches and compete for major honours.
Stones will now focus on his commitments with England at the World Cup before deciding on the next stage of his career. Juventus will continue to assess whether he is the right addition for their squad.
