Bayern goes for a 55M signing

The Bayern Munich has begun moves in this summer market to sign Finn Jeltsch, a 20-year-old central defender who plays for Stuttgart. This is Vincent Kompany's new request for his squad rotation.

The Allianz Arena club aims to finalize the transfer of the German international defender, whose current contract expires in June 2030, with his original club requesting an economic compensation of 55 million euros.

Vincent Kompany's Request for Bayern Munich's Defense

As revealed by Fussballdaten, coach Vincent Kompany has requested the defender's signing after winning the Bundesliga title in 2025-2026. The sports management of Bayern Munich views the player's arrival as a key move to strengthen the backline for the upcoming Champions League edition.

The young center-back has established himself in the German elite since emerging at Stuttgart, a club that has formally priced him at 55 million euros. At 20 years old, the player's rapid progress in the German league has heightened the interest of Munich's board to prevent him from leaving German football during this transfer window.

Competition from Arsenal and Liverpool for Stuttgart

The Bayern Munich is not alone in the race for the defender, as both Arsenal and Liverpool have started talks to take the lead in negotiations. The two Premier League clubs aim to strengthen their defense and have the financial capacity to meet the demanded 55 million euros in Baden-Württemberg.

Facing this English pressure, the Allianz Arena's leadership must hasten informal discussions with Stuttgart's officials if they want to secure the defender's signing before preseason starts. The player has a long-term contract until 2030, giving the selling team a strong position in any negotiation round.

The boards of Bayern Munich and Stuttgart plan to have their initial face-to-face meeting during the last days of July 2026.

The progression of the transfer will depend on whether Bayern Munich formalizes a written offer matching the 55 million euros valuation set by Stuttgart before Arsenal or Liverpool present a superior proposal.
