Bayern Munich are set to make a sensational move for Leeds Untied prodigy Archie Gray, with Vincent Kompany stamping his authority.
According to HITC, Bayern Munich are set to make a move for Archie Gray ahead of the summer. Reported incoming boss Vincent Kompany is likely to have his fingerprints on this transfer target, although the Bavarians face an uphill task to ward off English competition.
Bayern Munich in Archie Gray’s chase
Leeds United are keen on extending Archie Gray’s contract in a bid to keep hold of the young talent at their club. However, they might find it extremely hard in the wake of growing interest in the young prodigy, as Bayern Munich are one of the clubs keen to sign the 18-year-old.
Teams like Real Madrid and Tottenham have been in the race for the 18-year-old, and there are a whole lot of English clubs in the mix for the teenager. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are all among those keen on the Leeds United talent. But now, Bayern Munich are in the mix for him.
The move from the Bavarian giants seems to have Vincent Kompany’s fingerprints all over it. The Belgian tactician has been keen to add more Leeds United talent for some time now. Once his appointment as Thomas Tuchel’s successor is confirmed, he will push for progressive signings like Gray.
Now, all eyes will be on Leeds United and how they fare in their efforts to keep hold of the youngster. However, they might have to concede defeat should the player himself seek a move away from the club amid the significant interest from top teams ahead of the summer.
Bayern Munich set for a big summer
Bayern Munich have seemingly been set on a new path with their prospective interest in Kompany. While many had expected for them to bring a more formidable replacement Tuchel, they have seemingly taken on the path that many clubs are increasingly taking up, with the pursuit of Kompany.
The Belgian will want some progressive signings in the process, as they will look to enhance some of their key positions, including midfield and central defence. As for the move for Gray, with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United also in the hunt, nothing is set in stone.
Arsenal and Liverpool can potentially offer Gray UEFA Champions League football, while he will receive more regular game time at Manchester United. So, it will be interesting to see if he secures a move to the Premier League or joins Bayern Munich instead.
