Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich Squad Shake-Up Leaves Liverpool Fans in a Frenzy
As Vincent Kompany takes the reins of Bayern Munich for the first time in a competitive match, he’s made a bold statement by axing high-profile midfielder Leon Goretzka from his squad. And, as you’d expect, Liverpool fans are going wild!
Goretzka, who’s still got two years left on his contract, has been left out of Kompany’s team despite being fully fit. This sudden exclusion has sparked a transfer frenzy, with Reds supporters calling for the German international to join Anfield. One fan tweeted, "Liverpool should buy that one!" while another said, "Liverpool as the 6 hopefully." A third added, "Gortezka to Liverpool," accompanied by a folded hands emoji.
The reason behind Goretzka’s omission is unclear, but it’s a clear sign that he’s no longer a key player in Kompany’s plans. According to Florian Plettenberg, Goretzka wants to stay and fight for his place in the team, but it seems his chances of doing so are dwindling.
Goretzka has been a stalwart for Bayern since joining from Schalke in 2018, making 221 appearances across all competitions and scoring 40 goals. He’s won five Bundesliga titles during his time at the Allianz Arena outfit. Despite his impressive stats, his exclusion from Kompany’s squad has left many wondering what the future holds for the midfielder.
Meanwhile, Liverpool fans are still reeling from the news that Martin Zubimendi turned down a move to Anfield. Speaking ahead of his first Premier League game, Arne Slot said, "I’ve said many times already that our squad is really strong and it’s not so easy to find players who can help us or even strengthen the squad. Zubimendi was one of them to be fair, but he decided not to come. We go forward with the ones we have."
As the transfer window approaches, it’s clear that Liverpool need to strengthen their squad. Goretzka could be an option, but it remains to be seen whether Kompany will allow him to leave. One thing’s for sure, though – Liverpool fans will be keeping a close eye on developments.
