"According to a report from Tz journalists Philipp Kessler, Mano Bonke, and Hanna Raif (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich was hasty and proactive in its contract extension with head coach Vincent Kompany because it feared Manchester City would be lurking in 2027 to lure its former player back to England: With the quick contract extension, Bayern bosses wanted to anticipate any potential interest from Manchester City in Vincent Kompany."
"There were concerns that City might turn their attention to their former captain and lure him back to the club as Pep Guardiola's successor when both their contracts end in 2027, that's why Bayern made Kompany's renewal an 'urgent matter.' Bayern Munich was prudent to take this approach as Kompany - no doubt - would have been a key target to take over for Pep Guardiola if the Spaniard walks away from the job in 2027."
Bayern Munich moved quickly to extend head coach Vincent Kompany's contract, fearing Manchester City could target him as Pep Guardiola's successor when contracts expire in 2027. Club leaders treated the renewal as urgent to deter City and ensure Kompany remains tied to Bayern until 2029. The extension increases the cost for any club seeking to hire him. Bayern also face immediate sporting and transfer topics after their 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, including reactions to the Der Klassiker result, whether to pursue Nicolas Jackson, potential January attacking reinforcements, and a possible new contract for Leon Goretzka.
