John Stones could join Bayern Munich alongside Vincent Kompany and Harry Kane
Bayern Munich are planning to sign Manchester City defender John Stones during the summer transfer window. The experienced centre-back is nearing the end of his successful 10-year spell at the Etihad Stadium and is set to leave as a free agent. If the transfer goes through, he will reunite with former teammate Vincent Kompany and England captain Harry Kane at the Munich club. This is reported by Goal.com .
According to the Daily Mail, Bayern's management has identified Stones as a primary target to strengthen their defensive line. The 31-year-old's expiring contract makes him one of the most attractive options on the market. Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany knows his former colleague's capabilities well and views him as a key part of his project.
John Stones joined Manchester City from Everton in 2016 for £47.5 million. Under Pep Guardiola, he has made 293 appearances, scored 19 goals, and won the Premier League six times as well as the Champions League. However, injuries have recently hampered his playing time.
Although Bayern remains the frontrunner, other clubs are also interested in the player. Specifically, his former club Everton, Spanish side Barcelona, and other English teams are monitoring the situation. Nevertheless, the opportunity to play for a giant like Bayern and work with Vincent Kompany again is expected to be the deciding factor for Stones.
