Bayern will let Boateng leave (Kicker)

The club's board of directors have determined they will not offer the centre-back a contract extension

Jerome Boateng will be a free agent this summer potentially of interest to Champions League clubs needing experienced centre-back depth, as Kicker reports that Bayern Munich have decided to let him leave.
