Bayern Munich Defender Hints He Could Leave Germany as He Talks Up 'Interesting' Foreign Leagues

Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng has put plenty of clubs on alert as he has declared that he is open to leaving Germany.

Premier League sides Manchester United and Manchester City, in particular, are expected to be piqued, given the player's latest comments and could be tempted into making an approach for the versatile German centre-back this summer.

The 29-year-old has already spent time at City, joining from Hamburger SV in 2010, but things didn't go according to plan and he moved to Bayern after just one season.

Boateng has since developed into one of Europe's best defenders, helping Die Roten to six Bundesliga titles, as winning the World Cup with Germany four years ago.
