XXL transfer fee revealed! ManCity want Kompany as Guardiola’s successor | OneFootball

Vincent Kompany’s strong work at FC Bayern has not gone unnoticed abroad. The Belgian is being closely followed in England in particular. Now his former club Manchester City, of all places, is once again taking center stage.

According to Football Insider, the second-placed club in the current Premier League season is said to be looking closely at Kompany, with the former City captain one of the top candidates to succeed Pep Guardiola should he leave the club in the summer. This is due to increasing doubts within the club as to whether the Spaniard will stay on after around ten years.

At the same time, concrete figures are already circulating. A possible transfer fee of over ten million pounds, which is equivalent to around 11.5 million euros, is being discussed. A considerable sum for a coach.

In Munich itself, the starting position is clear. Kompany only extended his contract early in October 2025 until 2029, and his coaching team is also committed for the long term. Accordingly, there is currently no pressure from the German record champions.

It is hardly surprising that the 39-year-old’s name keeps cropping up at Manchester City. According to cfbayerninsider, the interest is considered „logical“ due to his successful past with the Sky Blues. At the same time, a transfer next summer is currently considered unlikely, as Kompany is said to have no interest in a quick return to the Premier League.

In addition to the Bayern coach, other coaches are also being discussed. According to media reports, Enzo Maresca and Xabi Alonso are also on the list of potential Guardiola successors. Maresca already knows the club from his time on the Citizens‘ coaching staff and also has experience as a head coach in the Premier League.

Alonso, on the other hand, is still considered a sought-after name on the international coaching market despite his recent departure from Real Madrid. The Spaniard had previously built up a strong reputation with his work in the Bundesliga at Bayer Leverkusen.
