Bayern man wants talks on future after rejecting big money moves

Bayern man wants talks on future after rejecting big money moves

20 September 2018 - 17:26

Jerome Boateng wants to reaffirm his commitment to the club in clear-the-air talks with Bayern Munich’s hierarchy after seeing two moves to leave the club this summer fail.

  • Chelsea join Liverpool & Man Utd in race to sign 26yo
  • Barcelona identify Arsenal midfielder as key transfer target



  • The Germany defender came close to leaving Bayern this summer, with both chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and president Uli Hoeness admitting the defender was available should anyone meet their €50m asking price.

    United reportedly matched Bayern’s asking price for the centre-half, only for the defender to reject a move in a phone call to manager Jose Mourinho. PSG were also heavily linked with a move and while they were keen, unlike United they were unwilling to match the €50m asking price.

    As such, Boateng was left at the Allianz Arena with an uncertain future – and now the player wants his future clarified.

    “I think we should talk again in the near future – that’s what we have set out to do – it’s important for me to make it clear once again that I’m fully focused on FC Bayern,” Boateng told the Munich-based newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung.

    “And on the other hand, I don’t think it’s nice when things are said about me everywhere and then you do not get any public support from the club.”
