Vincent Kompany will want to “steal” a few players from his old club to build his new empire at Bayern Munich.
The news that Vincent Kompany was appointed as the new coach of Bayern Munich is being widely spread. This change really surprised fans, especially after the disappointing season the Belgian coach just had at Burnley.
But Bayern is ready to take risks, and perhaps Kompany will want to “steal” a few players from the old club to build his new empire . Here are three City stars he can target:
Stephen Ortega
It would be no surprise if Stefan Ortega was the first person Kompany contacted this summer.
Currently, the future of the German goalkeeper is very uncertain, because he wants to become the number one goalkeeper after a series of excellent performances for Manchester City when Ederson could not play due to injury.
Ortega deserves more use.
Man City want to retain Stefan Ortega with a new contract, but negotiations have stalled and Kompany may look to lure the 31-year-old goalkeeper to the Allianz Arena. Ortega has been linked with a move to Bayern before, so this could be a reasonable choice for both parties.
Manuel Neuer is 38 years old and is entering the final year of his contract at the club, and Bayern needs a long-term replacement.
Kyle Walker
Recently, it was reported that Bayern Munich is ready to return to pursuing Kyle Walker , and Kompany becoming the coach of the German giant may make the current captain of ” The Citizens” really consider it.
The 33-year-old defender, who is on £175,000 a week, has signed a new contract with City after turning down Bayern last summer.
Kyle Walker still maintains a close relationship with Kompany. 55 00:08/02:00
Currently, the possibility of him leaving the club is quite low, but perhaps Kompany’s presence at Bayern will change the situation.
Walker played with Kompany at City and clearly respects his former team-mate.
The English defender is still very important to Man City in many aspects both on and off the field. However, Kompany will certainly test his old club’s determination with a bold offer this summer.
João Cancelo
Joao Cancelo has returned to Manchester City after a loan period at Barcelona, but it is difficult for him to continue staying at Etihad.
There is information that the club wants to sell him this summer. The Portuguese defender is hoping for an official contract with Barca, but who knows whether the Catalan giants have enough money to make a deal happen – especially given their financial problems? which is not bright at all.
Moving to Bayern Munich may not be a bad choice for Cancelo.
Cancelo was loaned to Bayern Munich in the second half of the 2022/23 season, and maybe the Gray Tigers will want to give this player another chance.
Although he never played with Kompany at City, because Cancelo joined after the former Belgian international left, perhaps Kompany will consider bringing this defender to Allianz. Alphonso Davies is expected to join Real Madrid this summer, and Joshua Kimmich could also leave.
Cancelo can manage both flanks well thanks to his versatility, so it is entirely possible for him to return to Germany.
