The Premier League runners-up have been quiet in the transfer market thus far, 18-year-old Turkish striker Enes Unal their only new recuit, but are keen on Juventus star Paul Pogba and Liverpool's Raheem Sterling.
City finished the season trophyless, just 12 months after winning both the Premier League title and League Cup, and were again eliminated from the Champions League in the first knockout round.
However, Kompany feels that they can still lure top talent despite more established rivals, telling reporters: "There are not so many top players and there are a few clubs who will probably be after the same players.
"We have an attractive proposition here - we obviously have the facilities, we have the increased capacity of the stadium and everything we want to achieve in the future. But some clubs have got the history.
"Players choose different things at times. You just can't guess."
He added: "[The transfer market] is the key to the success of any top club. It's maybe not always the amount of players that come.
"I think every top club in the world will be looking to add two or three quality players to make the team just that little bit stronger and, if you don't do it, then you are exposed to other teams becoming stronger.
"It's just nothing more than usual for us in the transfer window and I'm hoping and confident that we will make the right signings."
