The Bayern Munich will not renew the contract of Jerome Boateng, according to Bild.

The Bayern Munich will not renew the contract of central Jerome Boateng, which expires at the end of this season, according to reports from Bild. If this becomes reality, it would put an end to a decade-long relationship between the Bavarian club and the former German international.

However, Boateng has been on the brink of leaving several times, despite which he has continued to wear the Munich team's jersey.

The last time was at the beginning of last season when then-president Uli Hoeness publicly recommended Boateng to find a new club.

However, Boateng not only stayed in Munich but also had an excellent season and contributed to the conquest of the Champions League.

Boateng is currently 32 years old, so the end of his time in Munich would not be unthinkable.

Already at the beginning of last season, the plan was to renew the center of defense and it was considered that the starters should be Niklas Süle and Lucas Hernández, which led to Mats Hummels leaving the club.

However, both Süle and Hernández suffered serious injuries, so the regular partnership ended up being formed by Boateng and David Alaba, who moved from left-back to center-back where he is currently immovable.

The desired renewal of Alaba, desired by Bayern, is stalled, which added to a possible departure of Boateng could change the situation in the Bavarian defense.

It is clear that coach Hansi Flick can return to the original plan of playing with Süle and Lucas Hernández, as long as Alphonso Davies returns to last season's form to play as a left-back.

As an alternative, there are Tanguy Nianzu and Benjamin Pavard, who currently plays as a right-back.

However, it would be quite likely that Bayern would also seek alternatives in the transfer market. EFE
