Bayern are have tons of cash and we should be looking for 20M for him. We have not seen the best of Boateng but lets not sell him on the cheap.
Well, tbf Neuer is one of the best players in he world in his position. That is just not the case with Jerome. (He's not even a starter in the German NT). Plus, it was (aparently) 18 million, plus some million (amounting to a total of 25) if Bayern win the league and/or the CL.
Also, I don't think there's a way Bayern would pay 20m. Bayern tend not to overpay and they have already bought several players this window, and might be willing to buy one or two more.

what an outrageous site for such a standard footballer
phasnip said:I hope he stays. Mancini rates him and has said that he thinks Boateng will be a top defender in years to come. I rate him and see him as a deadly partner for Kompany. He has probably had the worst season out of all our players. He joins a new league that is more physical and faster. He gets injured twice and is played out of position when he does get game time which was very little. He needs game time in CB. He is better than Cahill.

Bayern Munich are closing in on Manchester City defender Jerome Boateng and hope to have the signing sorted by Wednesday next week.
Boateng moved to City for around £10m in June last summer but the former Hamburg star has failed to settle in Manchester and wants to return back to Germany.
Munich have been monitoring his situation all season and have submitted a bid to City, believed to be around £7m.
Boateng, 22, has told City he wants to leave and the club have accepted they will have to take a hit on the fee they paid for him last year.
And Munich are now confident terms can be agreed, with a medical due to take place early next week.

Didsbury Dave said:I have it on good authority that he will be gone. City see him as a dud with a questionable attitude. To be fair to him he has his own gripes about the way he has been managed, especially in Kiev.
No great loss. Good luck for the future.
Because we don't want him and he doesn't want us. It's in noones interests for him to staysouthern muppet said:LoveCity said:If this is true, I rage!

This makes no sense. Why will we 'have' to take a hit on the fee?
