Bayern Munich are nearing a deal to appoint Vincent Kompany as their new head coach, but negotiations with Burnley are proving challenging. Despite reaching a verbal agreement with Kompany, Bayern has yet to make significant progress with Burnley, who are demanding €20 million (£17m/$22m) in compensation, as reported by Sky.

Bayern is reportedly reluctant to meet this steep price, yet discussions continue. Burnley remains firm on their financial demands, with Kompany under contract until 2028. The potential financial gain from Kompany’s departure could be reinvested into the team, supporting their goal of returning to the Premier League by the 2025-26 season.

Kompany started his managerial career at Anderlecht, first as a player-coach in the 2019-20 season and later as the head coach until 2022. His subsequent move to Burnley marked a new chapter, enhancing his reputation as a promising manager. Under his leadership, Burnley secured promotion to the Premier League but struggled against top-tier teams, eventually facing relegation.

If Kompany completes his move to Bayern, he will be tasked with revitalizing a club used to winning. Bayern, known for their high standards and competitiveness, had a trophyless season, increasing the pressure on the new manager. Before this transition can occur, Bayern and Burnley must agree on a suitable transfer fee.
