FC Bayern’s Central Defender Crisis: Jérôme Boateng’s Potential Comeback on the Table Again

2023-11-02 11:03:00

Red alert at FC Bayern: After Matthijs de Ligt’s renewed injury, Thomas Tuchel only has one regular central defender available. The already rejected commitment of Jérôme Boateng suddenly becomes an issue once more.

As the “Bild” newspaper reports, those responsible at the German record champions are now thinking once more regarding signing Jérôme Boateng, who is currently out of contract. The ex-national player still keeps fit at Säbener Straße, trains there with the second team and is reportedly in top physical shape.

The topic of a Boateng commitment should now be “on the table once more,” it is said. A prominent supporter of the idea is said to have already been found in Thomas Tuchel.

FC Bayern are running out of central defenders

A possible Boateng commitment becomes particularly urgent due to the injury to Matthijs de Ligt. The Dutchman suffered another knee injury in the cup game once morest 1. FC Saarbrücken and, according to initial estimates, will be out for four to six weeks. This means that with Min-jae Kim there is currently only one world-class central defender in the squad.

Quite spicy: Just a few weeks ago, FC Bayern had already rejected a Boateng deal. The reason was not his physical condition or his footballing qualities, but rather trouble with the judiciary.

The ex-national player was sued by his ex-girlfriend for domestic violence. The process will be reopened, but according to “Bild”, it will no longer be during the 2023/24 competitive season. It remains to be seen whether that will be enough to change the minds of those responsible in Munich.

If the Munich team is unable to find a new central defender in the short term, it will once more be an emergency solution. This had to be used in the first round of the cup once morest Preußen Münster, when Leon Goretzka and Noussair Mazraoui had to play in the defense center.
