Jerome Boateng "needs a new challenge," according to Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness. The 30-year-old centre-back has seen his playing time reduced, despite Die Roten winning a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double.
Hoeness believes it is time for the Germany international to move on, telling Sky in Germany (h/t Sky Sports): "I would recommend him as a friend to leave the club. He needs a new challenge. Recently he has seemed out of place."
Boateng has two years left on his contract at the Allianz Arena but has found his position threatened by younger talents this season.
