The youngest of Germany's three Boateng brothers left Bayern as a free agent in the summer of 2021. He contested 229 Bundesliga games during a decade-long tenure with the German giants, winning nine league titles, five domestic cups, and two European UCL crowns. The now 35-year-old has had to deal with some off-pitch problems over the past year.
Injuries in Bayern's central defensive corps recently forced FCB trainer Thomas Tuchel to deploy midfielder Leon Goretzka at center back in a recent cup match. Bayern themselves will conclude the sixth match-day of the 2023/24 Bundesliga campaign in third place after drawing RB Leipzig 2-2 in their most recent league fixture.
