  • Inter Milan officially announced the signing of John Stones using a viral video of him pranking coach Thomas Tuchel.
  • The announcement humorously recreated a moment from the World Cup where Stones feigned injury to surprise Tuchel.
  • Stones leaves Manchester City after a decade, having won the Champions League and six league titles, to begin a new chapter with Inter.

Inter Milan has officially welcomed John Stones to the club, employing a unique and humorous approach for the announcement that draws on a memorable prank involving the English defender and coach Thomas Tuchel.

The club's announcement video cleverly recreated a viral moment from the World Cup. In the original clip, Stones pretended to have injured his shoulder in the locker room, causing concern for then-coach Tuchel before revealing it was a joke. Inter's video features Stones himself in a similar scenario, adding a distinct comedic touch to the transfer announcement.

At 32 years old, the central defender departs Manchester City after a decade-long tenure. During his time with the English club, Stones achieved significant success, including winning the Champions League and six Premier League titles. He now embarks on a new phase of his career by joining Inter Milan.
