Free agent this summer
After ten years at the club, Jérôme Boateng will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season. The 32-year-old center-back will be one of the most valuable free agents available on the transfer market this upcoming summer. Until recently, Boateng was heavily linked with a move to England.
Market Value
But Spurs and MLS are not the only interested parties. On Tuesday, Bild confirmed a report by France Football that Boateng's former coach Niko Kovac is interested in bringing the defender to AS Monaco. Kovac hopes that Boateng could add some depth and experience to a youthful defense that is set to lose Benoît Badiashile this summer. Boateng is expected to ask for a three-year contract that is significantly below his €12 million Bayern Munich salary.
There are several obstacles for Monaco to overcome before they can sign Boateng, however. The central defender was not a regular starter during Kovac's time in Munich. "I need the trust of the coach and the staff," Boateng recently said to the media. "Even before Hansi Flick became the coach, I always worked hard but didn't always get a chance to play, and it was hard to find a rhythm. That makes it hard for players."

Boateng: Monaco a candidate - England or even MLS preferred?
Boateng's past with Kovac is not the only obstacle. The 32-year-old also has other options. Boateng is seriously considering a move to England, where Tottenham Hotspur is the favorite, but also to the United States. Major League Soccer is another option for the defender. Internally, Boateng has long been a big fan of the United States and is seriously considering a transfer to MLS, where he would become one of the most valuable players in the league.
