There is a 50-50 chance for a Boateng move

Jerome Boateng has a “50-50” chance of leaving Bayern Munich and could join Paris Saint-Germain, the German club’s president Uli Hoeness has said.

Germany international Boateng, 29, has spent the past seven seasons in Bavaria but Hoeness has revealed the centre-back informed chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge of his wish to leave amid reports of interest from the French side and negotiations with Manchester United.

Rummenigge revealed last month that PSG had made contact with the defender, but said there had been no negotiations between the two teams.

PSG signed have already signed one German defender this week in the form of Thilo Kehrer from Schalke, but Hoeness believes Boateng could also be bound for the French capital.

“The chances of a transfer are 50-50,” Hoeness said in an interview with Sky Sport.

“Jerome told Karl-Heinz Rummenigge that he wants to move. If the player wants to leave and we have alternatives, then you have to deal with them.

“I think it’s Paris [Saint-Germain that are interested]. Loaning is only possible if there is an offer to buy next year.”
