According to a source, it is increasingly likely that John Stones will not be offered a new contract. His current deal at Manchester City is due to expire at the end of this season. There is an acceptance that it is time for both City and Stones to part ways. Bayern Munich are interested in exploring inexpensive options to strengthen their defensive depth. One source stated that Bayern have already initiated actions to persuade Stones. His former teammate Vincent Kompany could be a key factor, as could another England player in Harry Kane, but a final decision will not be made at this time.

According to TEAMtalk, Bayern Munich are preparing an offer for center back John Stones, whose contract at Man City expires in the summer.

According to Team Talk, Vincent Kompany is receptive to the idea that John Stones could be a high-profile competitor for Bayern Munich at the Allianz.

Stones was a teammate of the new coach of the Munich team in the 'citizen' dressing room, under the command of Pep Guardiola. Kompany believes that the defender would be key, due to his experience and characteristics, to reinforce Bayern's defense.
