The player has been heavily linked with an exit throughout the summer
Jerome Boateng joined Bayern Munich from Manchester City for a fee of €13.5 million on a four-year deal in 2011. He has been a mainstay in the defense since joining the club, making 260 appearances and winning six Bundesliga titles and a Champions League to go with numerous other trophies.
The German International was a key player for the Bundesliga giants last season, making 31 appearances in all competitions and helped them to win their 6th consecutive league title.
The centre-back though cast some doubt over his future by admitting that he may look for new challenges and could potentially leave the club this summer. However, he is contracted with the club until the summer of 2021.
The defender was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United as Jose Mourinho prioritized signing a top class centre-back. But the move never materialized as the Premier League transfer deadline passed.
However, with the European transfer window still open until the end of the month he has been heavily linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Both club manager Niko Kovac and president Uli Hoeness have insisted earlier that they are confident the player will stay with the German side amid transfer links.
David Alaba also believes that his teammate Boateng will be Bayern Munich player when the transfer window closes.
“We are all assuming that he stays,” Alaba said at a commercial event as quoted by Goal.
“That would be great for us, we know what he can give us and how important he is for the team on and outside of the pitch.
“Over the years here in Munich he showed that he is a world-class defender, that he is one of the best at this position and it would be a shame if he left.”
