Vincent Kompany is on the verge of becoming Bayern Munich s new manager and has reportedly set his sights on a very unhappy Manchester City star as his first transfer.
is set to be appointed as the new Bayern boss after talks on Wednesday after he earned promotion to the Premier League as Burnley boss last season before taking them straight back down.
The Belgian s whole backroom staff is set to follow him to Bayern, who have been frustrated in their attempts to find a successor for Thomas Tuchel.
After they failed in bids to land Xabi Alonso and Ralf Rangnick, they are now set to welcome Kompany, who has also managed Anderlecht and captained Manchester City to great success in his time as a player.
Kompany targets very unhappy City star
John Stones played alongside Kompany at the heart of City s defence, and reports now claim that the manager wants to sign the 29-year-old for Bayern.
Kompany is a huge admirer of Stones who is said to be very unhappy about his lack of game time under Pep Guardiola this season.
Stones has had injury issues but his return to fitness hasn t seen him back in the starting lineup – he started just one Premier League game between March and the end of the season and made just 25 appearances in all competitions across the campaign.
