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.
