Tottenham face AC Milan and Bayern Munich problem in race to sign Man City star
Tottenham Hotspur have been credited with an interest in an experienced Man City star, but the player’s list of admirers continues to grow ahead of the summer window.
The Tottenham backline could see some wholesale changes this summer, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven continuing to be linked with a move away from Spurs.
Many reports have suggested that Radu Dragusin is also keen on leaving Tottenham in search of regular game time.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men may thus need to add some experience to their backline, and one Man City man has reportedly caught their eye.
Tottenham may have to battle three European giants and a Premier League rival for John Stones
It was reported by GiveMeSport a couple of weeks ago that Tottenham may be handed an opportunity to sign John Stones, whom the Lilywhites have long admired.
The England international’s current deal at the Etihad runs out this summer, and it was revealed that there are no indications that he is about to renew.
However, CaughtOffside have now revealed that the interest in the City star has been growing ahead of the summer window.
AC Milan and Juventus are seriously considering a move for Stones, with both clubs seeing him as an ‘ideal fit’ for Serie A’s tactical style of play.
Meanwhile, the 31-year-old is also on the radar of Bayern Munich, who are exploring defensive reinforcements, while it is revealed that a return to Everton could also be on the cards for the experienced defender.
What is Man City’s stance on Stones?
CaughtOffside suggest that Stones is not expected to feature in Pep Guardiola’s plans with Man City now ‘actively planning for the future’.
The Manchester club want to continue investing in youth as they build a strong defensive core, and the former Everton man’s departure could free up a significant portion of their wage bill.
However, the one thing that may worry the decision-makers at Spurs is Stones’ fitness, with Tottenham already having plenty of injury-prone players in their squad already.
