He was almost ready to jump: Defense star Boateng was on the shooting list under Niko Kovac. Now Karl-Heinz Rummenigge describes the new situation around the former international.
- FCB star Boateng was about to jump in winter.
- Recent good performances could change direction.
- Now Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also stated for a stay.
Munich - “I would recommend him as a friend to leave the club. He needs a new challenge, he looks like a foreign body ”. Uli Hoeneß's words regarding Jerome Boateng were so harsh in May 2019. But 2020 has been a very good year for the defense veteran so far: He started in every game and has so far been able to convince with stable performances.
Bayern: Rummenigge praises Boateng
Karl-Heiz Rummenigge spoke to Sport1 about Boateng's achievements: "Jerome has been playing continuously for some time", and also sees the coach as a credit, "I think especially under Hansi Flick he has shown stability again."
Rummenigge is skilful on Hoeneß's statements, because he agrees with Boateng when he makes his recommendation: “I think what Uli said at the time was not a wrong assessment from the situation. But that was also at a different time. "
On Twitter, a user summarizes the situation around Boateng appropriately: “What I find remarkable. For about 4 transfer periods Boateng has always been talked away and he is still there. In my eyes, he also deserves a dignified finish, one of the best central defenders in Bayern history. It is duly adopted. "

During the international break it transpired that Jerome Boateng separated after years of cooperation from Christian Nerlinger and his consulting agency CN Sports and joined the company LIAN Sports from Fali Ramadani and Nikola Damjanac. The relationship between Boateng and the Bayern bosses was considered to be struck. Boateng's New York trip during the winter break was not well received.
Boateng: Change in the summer is not unrealistic
After failed deals with Paris (2018) and Juve (2019), Boateng still has many international options: England, Italy, there are obviously many prospects. His new advisor Ramadani is considered to be a very well networked and influential advisor to the industry.
Greta Thunberg and FC Bayern Munich? Actually, both have little to do with each other. But Mehmet Scholl now called an FCB star "Greta Thunberg of German football".
