Boateng happy to stay at Bayern Munich despite months of transfer speculation

Jerome Boateng is happy to stay at Bayern Munich as he now feels appreciated at the club again under current manager Hansi Flick.

The 31-year-old has been linked with an exit from the Allianz Arena for some time, with Arsenal and Chelsea among the clubs touted as possible destinations. He was in and out of the Bayern XI under former manager Niko Kovac, but has only missed one Bundesliga game in 2020, which was due to a yellow-card suspension.

“Before Hansi Flick, I was already thinking about my future,” Boateng admitted to Welt am Sonntag.
