Stunned fans say ‘wow’ as amount of compensation Burnley want from Bayern Munich for Vincent Kompany is revealed

BAYERN MUNICH will reportedly have to fork out a staggering £17million to prise Vincent Kompany away from Burnley.

The Bundesliga giants have identified the Belgian as the man to take them forwards after a dismal campaign.

But Sky Sports News claim that while there have been “fair and positive talks” between the clubs, Kompany will not come cheap.

And fans cannot believe the huge sums involved in signing Thomas Tuchel’s potential replacement.

One replied to the news: “I cant believe Bayern are considering this fraud.”

Another simply said: “Wow…”

“£17m for a manager. The worlds gone mental,” added another.

A fourth suggested: “Hold out for as much as we can get Bayern aren’t short of the money.”

Kompany, 38, has identified Manchester City trickster Jack Grealish as his top target.

The former City star is believed to be a huge fan of the England international.

Grealish has fallen down the pecking order at City and could see the switch as a chance to boost his playing time.

He would link up with England team-mate Harry Kane in a formidable quartet also featuring Jamaal Musiala and Leroy Sane.

Bayern failed to win a single trophy in Kane’s first season – a rare flop for a club of their stature.

And the new manager will be under immediate pressure to usurp Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen as the kings of German football.

Kompany earned rave reviews for Burnley’s performances in winning promotion to the Premier League.

But he managed just 24 points in 38 games as the Clarets tumbled back into the second tier.
