It is still unclear how things will go on with FC Bayern * and Boateng . But he is "definitely ready" to move to the motherland of football.

The Premier League * again seems to be an option for the seasoned central defender . “I don't know how it will go on. You never know, but it's not that I would say I don't want to play there. It's definitely one of my favorite leagues, ”he admitted.

FC Bayern and Jerome Boateng: Rummenigge shows his defender two options

The 31-year-old, who like his team-mate Javi Martínez of the same age, is only under contract until the summer of 2021, has two options , according to the club boss . “As for Jerome and Javi's situation , it is correct. Their contracts are also running out. You will now have to wait and see whether the two want to stay with FC Bayern until the end of their term or whether they can and want to do something else beforehand , ”said Rummenigge, summarizing the current situation.

Jerome Boateng has been set since the coach change and played a very strong second half. The ex-international could play despite the new signing Tanguy Kouassi Nianzou and the recovered Niklas Süle . Should the cards in the new Bayern defense be shuffled from the ground up, in the worst case scenario, Boateng could be behind the younger players and ultimately go to waste on the bench .

“They both already have the top three in their age and of course you worry about that,” said Rummenigge, referring to the age of Martínez and Boateng. "Do you want to stay at FC Bayern for one year or do you want to end your career somewhere else " - that is the key question.

There have been no talks between Boateng and the Bundesliga * -Primus beyond an extension beyond the summer of next year . The kicker also reports that a farewell to Boateng is also possible. If a corresponding offer is received by those responsible in late summer , the star could leave the club after nine years. The nice side effect for Munich would be that a transfer fee for the 31-year-old would be due this summer .

However, Boateng will almost certainly take part in the Champions League final tournament, for which Bayern are preparing from next week. For Bayern trainer * Hansi Flick * , he is one of the most important building blocks in his success concept, but the Bayern coach - unlike Thiago or David Alaba - avoided publicly fighting for Boateng.
