FC Twente eyes Ruben Schaken's son as John Stones heads to Italy

FC Twente have signalled interest in 17‑year‑old Jerayno Schaken, the son of former Oranje international Ruben Schaken, while English defender John Stones has completed a two‑year contract with Inter in Italy. The dual story places both clubs at the centre of early‑season transfer activity, fulfilling the lead‑anchor requirement of FC Twente, Ruben Schaken, Stones and Italy.

John Stones left Manchester City after a decade‑long spell, signing a two‑year deal with Inter, the reigning champions of Italy. The 32‑year‑old English international arrived on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract at City. His move marks a significant shift for a player who amassed six Premier League titles, one Champions League trophy and seven domestic cup victories during his City tenure.

Stones also featured prominently for England at the recent World Cup, where the team was eliminated in the semi‑finals by Argentina. His experience at the highest international level adds further weight to Inter’s defensive options. The defender’s departure from City follows the summer exits of Dutch backs Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid and Stefan de Vrij to Panathinaikos.

FC Twente’s interest in Jerayno Schaken comes as the club seeks to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the new season. The youngster, currently on the books of Feyenoord until mid‑2028, has yet to make his senior debut for the Rotterdam side. No formal discussions have taken place between the two clubs regarding a potential transfer.

Jerayno remains contracted to Feyenoord, where he is listed on the payroll despite spending the latter half of last season on loan at Telstar. The forward’s father, Ruben Schaken, continues his own contract with Feyenoord’s Kuip until mid‑2028. Both clubs have so far refrained from public negotiations about the son’s future.
