After failing to return to FC Bayern, Jérôme Boateng could apparently end up back in the Bundesliga. And 1. FC Heidenheim may be facing the most prominent transfer in the club’s history – if the matter becomes concrete. How “Sports picture“ reports, the newcomer is looking into signing the 35-year-old central defender, who is currently without a club and would therefore be available for a free transfer.

According to reports, there was a meeting between the FCH and Boateng’s advisor Tolga Dirican (TDS SPORTS). The club did not want to confirm the report when asked by the magazine. “As 1. FC Heidenheim, we generally do not comment on personnel speculation, so we don’t comment on that either.” The professional himself has not yet made a decision about his sporting future, it is said.

Update 9:31 p.m.: According to “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg Boateng was present at the positive meeting with Heidenheim boss Holger Sanwald last Friday. FCH would be willing to sign the defender until the end of the season. However, the current trend is against a transfer because other clubs are said to be interested in Boateng. A final decision is still pending.

Heidenheim is looking for an additional man for the defense center. Boateng recently kept fit at FC Bayern and impressed with good fitness values. In the end, the people of Munich decided not to make an obligation, apparently also because court proceedings for domestic violence are ongoing against him. In addition to FCB, Austria Klagenfurt was also discussed, but no agreement was reached.

“I’m ready for new tasks, I’m in top shape and I’m far from having reached the end yet. Every day I feel incredible energy and desire to show everyone again,” Boateng told “Bild” in mid-October. His future lies abroad. It is not known to what extent the veteran would now change his mind. Boateng was most recently under contract with Olympique Lyon until the summer, for whom he only played 35 games in two years.

Despite the criminal trial: Jérôme Boateng wants to attack again at a new club

The Berlin native is facing a new criminal trial in Bavaria because he is accused of attacking his then partner and mother of his children while on vacation in the summer of 2018. That’s why the footballer was sentenced in the second instance last year to a fine of 1.2 million euros for bodily harm and insult – but the Bavarian Higher Regional Court recently overturned this judgment and returned the case to the Munich I Regional Court. The case is therefore being reopened .

Boateng still wants to continue to be active on the pitch. “Many people will still be surprised: I will come back. I can only promise a new club that I will help them achieve their goals with my professionalism and full of energy. I can influence that myself and that’s what I do,” the defensive professional made clear.
