Vincent Kompany is emerging as a surprise candidate to take over as Bayern Munich’s manager following their unsuccessful search for a new leader after Thomas Tuchel. Despite Kompany’s Burnley struggling and finishing 19th in the Premier League, Bayern Munich is considering him for the role. If Kompany joins the Bundesliga giants, it is anticipated he might target current and former Manchester City players for his new squad, similar to his strategy at Burnley.
Notably, Aymeric Laporte, Sergio Gomez, Stefan Ortega, and Jadon Sancho are being speculated as potential transfer targets. Each of these players has a history with Manchester City and could be valuable additions to Bayern’s roster.
Aymeric Laporte, who has expressed dissatisfaction with his current stint in the Saudi Pro League, could be a prime candidate for a move to Bayern to bolster their defense. Sergio Gomez, familiar to Kompany from their time at Anderlecht, could replace Alphonso Davies if he leaves Bayern this summer. Stefan Ortega, a talented goalkeeper and German native, might fulfill Bayern’s homegrown player requirements.
Lastly, Jadon Sancho, who never made a senior appearance for Manchester City but has proven his talent in the Bundesliga, could be another valuable addition under Kompany’s management. With these potential signings, Kompany could reshape Bayern Munich’s squad by integrating familiar talent from Manchester City.
