Jérôme Boateng announced via Instagram Story that he will not return to FC Bayern and that he has decided to refrain from an internship in Munich. The sports management, including Max Eberl, had assured the former defender that he could attend Vincent Kompany's training. The fan scene reacted with strong banners against the plans, and this reaction was ultimately successful.

According to 'tz', Jérôme Boateng's internship at Säbener Straße is currently being considered for cancellation because both the club and the former professional did not anticipate such strong reactions. In Munich, there was also an impression that Boateng was no longer interested. Approximately two weeks ago, the former central defender announced his return to Bayern to complete an internship under Vincent Kompany, which was followed by heavy criticism from fans and the media.

A few months ago, 37-year-old German defender Jérôme Boateng was on the verge of a return to FC Bayern. Due to personnel concerns in their defense, the record champions had him train with the team on a trial basis under coach Thomas Tuchel. The prospect of his return, however, was met with outrage from many fans on social media, and protest actions were even planned. In the end, after considering all aspects, FC Bayern announced their decision not to sign Boateng. The free agent has been linked with Wisła Kraków.
