Earlier this week, the Daily Mail linked out-of-contract Manchester City centre-back John Stones with a move to Bayern Munich, claiming that the German champions are considering a move for the 31-year-old.

However, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl has now poured cold water on the speculation.

Speaking to Bild, Eberl denied any interest in Stones, simply saying:

“That's not true.”

Bayern Munich have so far confirmed one arrival for the summer transfer window: Noel Aseko, who will return to the German champions via a buy-back clause after Hannover 96 initially activated a purchase option for the 20-year-old.
