Jerome Boateng and his future at Bayern - "If he weren't a coach now, then ..."

Jerome Boateng has still not renewed at Bayern Munich. What is the future of the 2014 world champion? One thing seems to be certain ...

• Jerome Boateng : Does he extend his contract until 2021 in Munich ?
• After a car accident and a fine , he also had to pay a penalty at FC Bayern *.
• Now the world champion does not rule out a return to former club Hertha BSC .

Update from May 7, 2020: The marriage between Jerome Boateng and FC Bayern has been going on for a long time. The defender has been wearing the FCB jersey for nine years - and as in every marriage, there were great ups and downs.  

Currently it seems to have settled somewhere in the middle. Because while Boateng was on the verge of saying goodbye in the past two years (PSG and Juve), the central defender can currently imagine that he will at least fulfill his contract, which runs until 2021. 

The reason for the U-turn has a name: Hansi Flick ! "I owe him a lot," Boateng is quoted in the Sport Bild : "If he were not now a coach, I might not be at Bayern ." Whether the 31-year-old is now even longer? "My contract in Munich runs until 2021," says Boateng: "Under coach Hansi Flick, I can imagine fulfilling it."

So it doesn't sound as if both sides would be interested in working together. Because nothing has been heard from the club side so far that the contract should be extended. As the kicker reports, no talks are planned, unlike Manuel Neuer, Thiago or David Alaba, for example.

Nevertheless, Boateng can currently hope for a place in the FCB starting eleven after the Corona break from May 15. However, it is questionable whether FC Bayern will receive a concrete offer for Boateng in the summer. Because of the Corona crisis , one should not hope for a shower of money on Säbener Straße . Instead, another city star is traded in Munich after Leroy Sané.

Jerome Boateng: FC Bayern star dreams of Hertha return - does Hainer open the door?

Update from May 4, 2020:  Bavaria President Herbert Hainer speaks publicly about contract extensions. He hopes for an early agreement Thiago , Manuel Neuer and David Alaba - and does not mention Jerome Boateng with any syllable. As with the trio, the 2021 world champion's contract expires.

That fits a bit into the picture after Boateng recently spoke about a return to Hertha BSC. So is it going to be serious about changing poker?

Bayern star Boateng dreams of returning to home club - he bites promptly

Update from May 1, 2020: Jerome Boateng seemed to have been on the siding with FC Bayern over the past few years , but whether staff shortages or difficulties in the negotiations - something always happened. The 31-year-old's contract is dated until 2021 - reason enough to plan the future and thereby reveal the dream of a successful career end. 

That's exactly what the Bayern defender did on Instagram with his half-brother Kevin-Prince . The two of them imagined the dream scenario of standing together again for Hertha BSC in front of thousands of fans in the Berlin Olympic Stadium (see message from April 30). Jerome and Kevin-Prince are native Berliners and started their professional careers at the capital's club. 

Boateng brothers before returning to Hertha? "When the time comes ..."

A reaction from Hertha was not long in coming. Managing Director Michael Preetz seemed pleased with the statements made by the two Boatengs: “It's nice to hear that the two still have such a close connection to Berlin and Hertha BSC. These are boys from Berlin and both have achieved a great deal in their careers and have seen the world, ”Preetz told Bild . "It is totally understandable that I will be drawn back home to this great city at some point and I am very pleased."

So is the dream of the two ex-Herthan people coming true and possibly faster than expected? Preetz shuffles afterwards meaningfully: "When the time comes, we will definitely exchange ideas."

But before the Hertha fans again dream of a new old Boateng axis, the picture at the same time arranges that engagement is unlikely . Jerome and Kevin-Prince could rather take on tasks in the club after an active career. 

Another Bayern player is about to return to his former club - the decision even seems to have been made here. 

"It would be a dream": FC Bayern star speaks of returning to home club

Update from April 30: Jerome Boateng from FC Bayern Munich * has not ruled out a return to his home club Hertha BSC .

Even more: The world champion said about such a scenario: "That would be a dream." The 31-year-old central defender had pondered about his future in an Instagram talk with his half-brother Kevin-Prince Boateng .

Kevin-Prince , who is currently loaned to AC Florence from Besiktas Istanbul, replied that it was a dream for him to share the shirt again with the former German international, against whom he won the DFB Cup in 2018 with Eintracht Frankfurt would have.

"Will we play together again one day? Maybe in the last year of our career? We still have two or three years, maybe four more, ”he said. Jerome replied, “If it were possible, it would be incredible to share the field with you again. You'd have to see which team would take us when we were that old, ”he said and laughed.

It would be an ideal career end for him, the older Kevin-Prince continued, “maybe in our hometown, you never know. The last game in the Olympiastadion Berlin. That would be it. ”Then Jerome Boateng replied :“ That would be a dream. Everything is always possible in football, you never know. "

His contract with  Bayern  still runs until summer 2021. It is unclear whether the defender will leave Munich after this season. Recently there had been rumors of a possible return to Hertha for the first time .

FC Bayern: transfer rumor about Jerome Boateng and his former club

Boateng has made headlines in recent weeks , but these have rarely been of a sporting nature. 

In a hailstorm, the Bayern * star lost control of his Mercedes on the highway about three weeks ago and built an accident in which he remained unharmed. 

Although Boateng argued that he had gone to see his sick son , FC Bayern * immediately fined the defender. 

He was accused of violating the club's guidelines in the Corona crisis, which he vehemently denied. However, the sum of the fine should be donated to a hospital in times of crisis.

But what are the reasons for Boateng's return  to Berlin? First of all, the 31-year-old is in the capital city  born and knows the city so well, of course. #

His new girlfriend Kasia Lenhardt also lives in Berlin. The Hertha wants Offensive transfer into Europe with their new and needs experienced players in their ranks. 

But if the monthly salary Boateng , which is estimated 12 million euros can be paid even in the capital, in spite of the investor Lars Windhorst remains highly questionable .
