Free agent Jerome Boateng wants to sign for ‘dream’ club Man Utd after leaving Bayern Munich

Former Manchester City defender Jerome Boateng has his heart set on Old Trafford as a potential destination this summer, with Manchester United his ‘dream’ club

According to Calciomercato.it, the 32-year-old is ‘very disappointed’ not to have found a new club following his departure from the Bundesliga champions.

Juventus, AC Milan, Napoli, Lazio and Roma are all interested in the German, but Old Trafford would be the ‘dream’ destination for the former Manchester City man.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are close to completing the signing of Raphael Varane, so it is unknown if they would be in the market for another central defender.

There are currently no reports that suggest United are looking to add Boateng to their ranks.

According to transfer news from Express, Jerome Boateng is keen on a move to Manchester United. The German defender is currently a free agent after his contract at Bayern Munich expired. However, he is said to be considering a ‘dream’ move to United.

It has been a long time since Manchester United have boasted of such depth and quality in central defence. The addition of Raphael Varane means that Harry Maguire now has an able partner in the heart of the backline. The duo is expected to be the club’s first-choice pairing when available.

Moreover, United have two equally capable defenders in Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly to cover for them in case of injury. Let’s not forget that Phil Jones is set to return from an extensive layoff. However, United do not seem to be done signing central defenders.

Amidst this, veteran free agent Jerome Boateng has put his name in the ring. The 32-year-old German is keen on a move to a Champions League club after leaving Bayern and Old Trafford is said to be the dream move that he wants. Although, United’s interest in the player is unknown at this point.

The free-agent status of Boateng does make him an appealing option for United. There is also his experience of winning a plethora of trophies but the fact remains that he is close to 33 years of age and not exactly safe from injuries. A short-term deal might be good for all involved.
