Now, Stones has reportedly been offered to Bayern Munich by his agent: Bayern are considering a move for John Stones on a free transfer. Should they progress their interest, Bayern would be in a strong position to see off competition for the defender [@MikeKeegan_DM] John Stones has been offered to several clubs, including Bayern, because Bayern are expected to sign a centre-back this summer [@FabrizioRomano] If true, this could be significant.

Vincent Kompany has been known to have an affinity for his ex-teammate and Bayern Munich has been rumored to be in the market for a center-back. While some fans have started dreaming of a big transfer like Manchester City’s Josko Gvardiol or Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky van de Ven and others want to ride it out with Kim Min-jae, Stones could present an intriguing option for one or two years. Stones is 31-years-old and is said to have a strong relationship with Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane.

United want to sign a back-up option for Diogo Dalot, although signing the 28-year-old would rely on Noussair Mazraoui leaving Old Trafford. The Norway international has a contract that runs until 2028 and Dortmund are happy with him, so it would take an offer worth over €30 million for the Bundesliga club to let him leave.
