England midfielder Georgia Stanway says she will leave Bayern Munich at end of season

MUNICH (AP) — England midfielder Georgia Stanway has announced she will leave German club Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old Stanway is in her fourth season with Bayern and has scored 26 goals in 106 games overall so far, winning three straight Frauen-Bundesliga titles.

“The decision to leave Munich and my team was incredibly difficult,” Stanway posted on Instagram on Saturday. “I want to say goodbye to the club and the fans at the end of the season with as many titles as possible.”

Stanway has been a midfield standout for several years, helping the England women’s team win back-to-back European Championships, in 2022 and 2025, and scoring two goals in both editions of the tournament.

A hat trick against China in a friendly last November took her international tally to 29 goals in 83 matches.

Stanway pledged to “give everything” for Bayern until she leaves but did not hint at her future destination.

She won the Women’s Super League and three FA Cups with former club Manchester City before joining Bayern in 2022.

The arrival of AJ Dybantsa gives Wizards hope

For the first time in almost a half-century, the Washington Wizards could be closer to contending for an NBA title with the arrival of AJ Dybantsa. The team drafted the 6-foot-9 forward with the first pick of the 2026 NBA draft after finishing as one of the worst teams in the league in the past three years. They got the No. 1 overall pick after winning the draft lottery in May for the first time since 2010 -- when they drafted John Wall. The Wizards hope, with the arrival of Dybantsa, that they can start winning games and competing for the playoffs with a chance to win their first championship since 1978. In the past three seasons, they finished with a combined record of 50-196. “We’re definitely getting a difference maker on the basketball court. There’s no doubt about that,” Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said. “What I would want our fans to know night one is that he is a worker. He is a passionate person who loves basketball and will continue to work and get better.”
