Vincent Kompany: Burnley boss has ‘verbal agreement’ to join Bayern Munich but deal not done – Sky in Germany
The Bundesliga side have now turned their attentions to Kompany, with both parties undergoing concrete and positive talks but there is no agreement yet.
Kompany wants to go to Bayern and a verbal agreement is in place. The deal is not done yet, however.
Sky Sports News has contacted Burnley for comment over Bayern’s interest in Kompany.
The Belgian, whose contract at Turf Moor runs until the summer of 2028, is wanted by Bayern sporting directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund. Bayern have also gathered information on Mauricio Pochettino, who left Chelsea on Tuesday, but no discussions have taken place, with the German giants focused on Kompany.
Their interest in the 38-year-old comes despite him enduring a tough season with Burnley after the Clarets were relegated from the Premier League for an immediate return to the Championship.
But the ex-Manchester City captain, who has also managed Anderlecht, does have knowledge of the Bundesliga having played at Hamburg before joining City.
Bayern have so far been frustrated in their search to replace Tuchel with Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso, Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann and Austria coach Ralf Rangnick all rejecting the job.
