Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng has suggested he's ready to fight for his place at the Allianz Arena despite president Uli Hoeness' suggestion that the ex-Germany international should leave the club.
Hoeness recently told Sky (h/t Goal) that Boateng "needs a new challenge" and advised him to leave, but the 30-year-old has responded and indicated to Kicker (h/t Goal) that he wants to stay:

The president's comments don't bode well for Boateng's prospects in Bavaria, with Mats Hummels and Niklas Sule the club's preferred centre-back partnership most of last term.
