Boeteng interest


TRANSFER TALK


Bayern Munich centre-back Jerome Boateng has just asked the Bayern board for a meeting, in order to clarify his position at the club.

The 28-year-old (29 in September) German international centre-back is being monitored by Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal report Italian news outlet TMW.

In another report the same outlet suggest Roma are watching his situation and that if he left he would cost around £28.75 million (€33.5m - AUS$49.95m - US$37.09m). I don't see him wanting to play second fiddle to Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghem just yet, especially as Real Madrid are reported to be interested.

With Arsenal looking at UEFA Europa League football next season he clearly isn't going to be interested in going there.

Under contract until 2021 the right-footed defender has only played 818 minutes of Bundesliga football under Carlo Ancelotti this season, as well as 510 across 6 UEFA Champions League games.

He has had injuries that have kept him out, a torn muscle in August, a muscle problem in November, a shoulder injury in December, January and February and an abductor problem in April.

Not a story to get excited about I don't think.
