Could John Stones switch to Munich
❌ It is NOT TRUE: John Stones is the number one option for Bayern to sign at centre-back this summer. Bayern, of course, have to keep an eye on every player who’ll be on the market this summer. Stones is an interesting option, as he’s currently set to become a free agent after the 2025/26 season. Bayern Munich already knows he’s turning 32 in the summer, so they can think about this one.
However, if Bayern do end up losing Dayot Upamecano, and they don’t know what’s happening with Kim Min-jae, and they may not have the money to act, it’s a good option. Stones is already more than familiar with Pep Guardiola’s managerial style. Some experts, however, claim his feet are too slow for Vincent Kompany’s football.
That said, perhaps it’s like the case with Eric Dier, where if you can get a player of this calibre – and you don’t have many alternative options – you have to at least discuss it!
