"According to my sources, as first reported here for the Daily Briefing, it looks increasingly like John Stones will not be offered a new contract, with his current deal at the Etihad Stadium due to expire at the end of this season. There seems to be an acceptance that it's time for both City and Stones to part ways, and some suitors may already have established early contacts to sound out the player."
"One name coming up a lot is Bayern Munich, who are keen to explore cheap options to strengthen their depth in defence. Bayern have already started moves behind the scenes to persuade Stones, one source said. His old teammate Vincent Kompany could be key, as could another England player in Harry Kane, but a final decision won't happen now. Stones is also understood to have had contacts from Atletico Madrid and AC Milan,"
John Stones appears unlikely to be offered a new Manchester City contract, with his current deal expiring at the end of the season and an acceptance growing that both parties should part ways. The 31-year-old is already free to speak with foreign clubs, and Bayern Munich have emerged as keen suitors exploring cost-effective defensive options. Vincent Kompany and Harry Kane could influence Bayern's pursuit. Stones reportedly received contacts from Atlético Madrid and AC Milan, while a return to Everton is improbable due to salary demands. Stones remains focused on helping City finish the season strongly as the club also strengthened defence by signing Marc Guehi.
