Bayern Munich's search for a new manager will cost the Bavarians a hefty sum despite already agreeing a deal with Vincent Kompany
Burnley head coach Vincent Kompany has caught the attention of Bayern Munich as a potential new manager despite Burnley’s recent relegation and is set to exchange the cold nights at Turf Moor for the Allianz Arena.
Clarets Demand a Massive Transfer Fee
Burnley are holding firm on their financial demands for Kompany, seeking a €20 million (£17m/$22m/₦31.2b) compensation fee for Kompany’s release.

The Clarets believe that this financial windfall could be pivotal in their efforts to rebuild the squad, replace the departing manager, and secure a swift return to the Premier League and are unwilling to part with Kompany for anything lower
Bayern Ready to Negotiate for Lower Price
Kompany’s managerial skills have been highly regarded, and his connection to Pep Guardiola’s coaching philosophy adds to his appeal.
Bayern Munich are reportedly hesitant to meet Burnley’s high asking price despite their desperation for a manager and negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with the Bavarians looking to reduce the compensation fee.
Despite having reached a verbal agreement with Kompany, Bayern must still agree a fee with Burnley to secure a replacement for the outgoing Thomas Tuchel. The Bavarian giants are known for their strategic approach to transfers and are likely to leverage their position to negotiate a lower fee.
