The German defender Jerome Boateng (35), free after the contract with him Olympique Lyonnais at the end of June, he trained this Sunday with the Bayern Munich at the Säbener Strasse facilities, as the Bavarian club explained on its website. The day after the draw in Leipzig (2-2), “players who are not starters trained this morning, including Jérome Boateng,” Bayern underlines.
“Boateng will also train in the coming days at Säbener Strasse,” he added. The 2014 world champion, without a contract since July 1, could serve as a replacement solution for coach Thomas Tuchel, who has only three center backs: Frenchman Dayot Upamecano, Dutchman Matthijs De Ligt and the South Korean which is Kim Min-jae . Tuchel had to put defensive midfielder Leon Goretzka in the middle of the defense for the 32nd German Cup final match against Münster (4-0).
Boateng played for Bayern between 2011 and 2021, winning the Champions League twice (2013 and 2020). He played just eight games (just over fifty minutes on average) for Lyon last season. Recently there has been more talk about him off the field. Sentenced in September 2021 to pay 1.8 million euros for violence against his former partner for the events of 2018, his fine was reduced on appeal to 1.2 million euros.
On Wednesday, Bavaria’s highest court granted the three parties’ requests for review, overturned the judgment on appeal and ordered a new trial on the same facts.
