URGENT STORY 🔵 Stanway will depart Bayern Munich when the summer transfer window opens

Georgia Stanway will depart Bayern Munich when her contract concludes this summer. The 27-year-old England midfielder joined the German club from Manchester City in 2022 and claimed three domestic championships during her tenure.

Stanway has achieved significant milestones while in Germany, capturing two European Championships alongside the Lionesses and establishing herself among the world’s elite midfielders. Her international career spans 87 caps for England, demonstrating her importance to the national team.

The midfielder now has the opportunity to negotiate with prospective employers this January before making her summer move. Arsenal has positioned itself as the leading candidate, having engaged in preliminary discussions with Stanway regarding a potential arrangement, though multiple other clubs have expressed interest in securing her services.

Stanway acknowledged the difficulty of her decision in a statement released Saturday. She expressed deep gratitude toward Bayern, emphasizing the profound friendships and personal growth she experienced during her three-and-a-half-year stay. She reaffirmed her commitment to delivering maximum effort for the club until her final day there.

Any agreement with Arsenal would constitute a major transaction within the January transfer period. The Gunners, following their Champions League victory in May, are constructing a squad designed to compete for the Women’s Super League title. Their recent moves include manager Renee Slegers committing to a fresh three-year contract this week.
