According to The Sun, there is a fair share of chance of the German international departing the Allianz Arena in the summer, and the Mancunian giants are set to lock horns in order to secure this £50 million transfer.
Boateng left the blue side of Manchester in order to pursue his dream of playing for his country back in 2011. And after just 3 years since making his debut for the Bavarians, the former City man lifted the FIFA World Cup trophy in 2014.
