Jérôme Boateng will not be returning to the FC Bayern Munich squad. The club made this decision on Friday and informed the long-serving former Bayern player.
Around two weeks ago, all four centre-backs in Bayern’s first-team squad were unavailable for the cup match at Preußen Münster because of injury. Boateng, currently without a club, was subsequently invited to join in with training at Bayern. Dayot Upamecano and Minjae Kim are now playing without pain again, while Matthijs de Ligt is also well on the road to recovery, meaning the personnel situation in the centre of defence has eased.
In light of all aspects, Bayern has now decided not to sign Boateng. At the same time, as a distinguished former player, he has been offered the chance to continue to maintain his fitness at the club. Boateng has presented himself in good physical condition.
