Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are reportedly lining up a swoop for England and Manchester City star Jack Grealish.
On the cusp of being appointed Bayern’s manager, Vincent Kompany has apparently wasted no time identifying transfer targets for the summer and has his sights set on bringing Grealish to Germany as the former Burnley manager is a big fan of the ex Aston Villa captain.
This could see the 28-year-old, who joined City from Aston Villa for £100million in 2021, link up with his England team-mate Harry Kane in Bayern’s forward line.
Grealish has just won a third Premier League title at the Etihad Stadium and could add the FA Cup on Saturday, but seems to have fallen down Pep Guardiola’s pecking order, having started just 10 of the 29 Premier League games he’s been available for this season, with Guardiola using Gthe star winger more in the Champions League.
Grealish has scored only three goals and contributed three assists in an underwhelming campaign, which has affected his chances of starting for England at Euro 2024, which will be held in Germany this summer.
The Sun add that Guardiola and City are likely to resist any approach from Bayern for Grealish, who still has three years to run on the six-year deal he agreed in 2021.
The winger is also a popular figure in the City dressing room and was the heart and soul of celebrations after they won a record fourth consecutive Premier League title last weekend.
Bayern could theoretically line up with Grealish on the left wing and another former City player in Leroy Sane on the right, either side of hotshot Kane, who netted 44 goals this season.
