England midfielder Georgia Stanway will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season when her contract expires.
The 27-year-old joined the German champions from Manchester City in 2022 and has won three league titles during her spell in the Bundesliga. She has also established herself as one of the top midfielders in women’s football.
Contract Situation
Stanway is now free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club this month, allowing her to move on a free transfer in the summer.
Arsenal have emerged as leading contenders for her signature and are understood to be in talks over a potential deal, according to reports. Other clubs are also monitoring the situation.
International Success
The midfielder has earned 87 caps for England and was part of the squads that won back-to-back European Championships with the Lionesses, as stated by the Football Association.
Player Reaction
“I am incredibly grateful to Bayern. Thankfully, my time here isn’t over yet,” Stanway said in a club statement released by Bayern Munich.
“The decision to leave was incredibly difficult. I’ve made friends and memories here that will last a lifetime, and I’ve been able to develop enormously as both a player and a person.”
“I will give absolutely everything for Bayern and our sporting success until the very last day.”
Arsenal Ambitions
If Arsenal complete the deal, it would be considered one of the biggest signings of the transfer window. The north London club are building a squad capable of challenging for the Women’s Super League title after winning the Champions League last season, according to the club’s sporting department.
