Manchester City Women Midfielder Georgia Stanway Agrees Bayern Munich Deal
Two Year Deal Agreed
Stanway’s contract at Manchester City expired this summer and she has subsequently agreed a two-year deal with Bayern Munich, who finished second to Wolfsburg in Frauen-Bundesliga in 2021/22.
She has been with City since 2015, lifting a Women’s Super League title, three League Cup’s and three FA Cup’s.
City had a disappointing start to the season in 2021/22, costing them any chance in the WSL title race. Though, managed to lift the League Cup, snatch third-place from Manchester United and push Chelsea to extra-time in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Stanway scored eight goals in 22 league games with one assist in 2021/22. She has plenty of experience for her age, including over 30 England games, scoring eight goals for the Lionesses. The 23-year-old was also nominated for the BBC’s Young Sports Personality of the Year back in 2017.
Bayern were four points behind Wolfsburg for Frauen-Bundesliga this season and will look to bridge that gap. They last won the league title in 2020/21.
Stanway will be the only English player in the current squad, unless Bayern make further additions from the country.
The deal will be announced later in the week.
Euros Focus for Stanway This Summer
