MLS or Premier League?
Jérome Boateng’s time at Bayern Munich will likely end next summer. After ten years it should be over, because Munich apparently chose a different path: according to “Bild” reported, citing his own data, the 32-year-old central defender’s contract will not be extended.

Boateng is disappointed with the decision, which has apparently been made. The 2014 world champion had signaled to FC Bayern that he could well imagine an extension beyond 2021. According to the newspaper, Premier League clubs Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea are following Boateng’s development. The veteran is also considering a move to Major League Soccer.
Update 11:53 am: According to “Sport1” chief reporter Florian Plettenberg, the Boateng management (advisor Damir Smoljan) and the player himself are very surprised by the news. They had not been informed by FC Bayern of the rumored decision to terminate the contract in the summer. The message hit the party “completely unexpectedly.”
To update #Boateng: Your management is totally shocked by the news of BILD (that Boateng has to leave #FC Bayern 2021). So far they are not informed about that decision. @ SPORT1

Along with Manuel Neuer (34), Boateng is the longest-serving professional on the squad who does not come from FC Bayern’s own descent, but has been hired externally. In 2011 he was brought in from Manchester City for 13.5 million euros. The defender is one of the most valuable players in the Bundesliga with an expiring contract.

“Jérôme feels incredibly at home here. The team is incredibly focused and professional. This all fits with Jérôme, ”advisor Damir Smoljan (LIAN Sports) recently said on“ Sport1 ”. “We are open to contractual negotiations. The future is exciting. We hope to have talks with Bayern. ” That apparently doesn’t happen anymore, although coach Hansi Flick recently found only positive words about Boateng.

“It’s just nice to see. We are all happy that he has worked on himself over the last few months and that he has recovered a lot and that he played a very good game here today, ”stressed Flick after the 6-2 draw in the Champions League at RB Salzburg.
Update 12:07 pm: Smoljan’s remarks in the direction of the contract extension are said to have prompted the FC Bayern management to act, according to “Sport1”. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic & Co. wants to avoid a publicly played poker as in the case of David Alaba (28).
