Bayern to take a run at Hall? (TEAMtalk)
Bayern Munich has been closely linked to Newcastle United attacker Anthony Gordon, but what if the Bavarians have another Magpies player in mind as well? That might be the case as Bayern Munich is rumored to have interest in 21-year-old left-back Lewis Hall:
Newcastle United are facing a growing battle to keep hold of Lewis Hall this summer, with TEAMtalk understanding the England international is prepared to consider leaving St James’ Park should the right opportunity emerge.
Sources have confirmed
to TEAMtalk that Hall is viewed internally at Old Trafford as one of the leading options to strengthen Michael Carrick’s squad ahead of next season. Manchester United, however, are far from alone in the race. Arsenal have maintained a long-standing admiration for Hall and continue to monitor his progress closely, while former club Chelsea have also retained a watching brief on the player they allowed to leave two years ago.
Liverpool are another club with a long-term appreciation for Hall’s qualities, and sources indicate the Anfield side continue to view him as one of the best young English full-backs available. The Merseyside side, who will lose Andy Robertson as a free agent this summer, are understood to be keen to add a new left-back to their ranks. TEAMtalk can also confirm Bayern Munich are showing particularly strong interest.
There is some thought that Bayern Munich is worried about the injury history of left-back Alphonso Davies, but Newcastle just bought Hall from Chelsea in 2024 for €33 million. His value has only gone up, which likely prices Bayern Munich out of the running.
Journo shoots down Stones rumor (Sky Germany’s Kerry Hau)
Sky Germany journalist Kerry Hau says that Bayern Munich is not planning a future with Manchester City center-back John Stones:
There is nothing to the rumors surrounding John Stones and FC Bayern. The FCB is not planning to sign the English center-back. @SkySportDE
The key thing to remember here is that the report was only that Stones was offered to Bayern Munich by his agent, not necessarily that the Bavarians were out hunting the Man City veteran.
If Bayern Munch does plan to go all-in on a treble run and — somehow — sells both Kim Min-jae and Hiroki Itō, there are worse options than getting Stones as a low cost, veteran depth piece.
