Austria Klagenfurt asked Jérôme Boateng: Recommend “for top clubs” in the Bundesliga

After Gezos was injured

“My future lies abroad,” Jérôme Boateng, without a club, recently said after FC Bayern declined a contract offer. There was now an interested party from the Austrian Bundesliga. As Austria Klagenfurt’s sports director Günther Gorenzel-Simonitsch told the “Crown newspaperThe fourth-placed man asked the 35-year-old this week. However, no agreement was reached.

There would have been contact with the 2014 world champion since the summer because he wanted to train with the Klagenfurt team. Gorenzel-Simonitsch, previously employed at 1860 Munich, and coach Peter Pacult, former coach of Dynamo Dresden and RB Leipzig, among others, declined at the time due to the possibility of too much turmoil surrounding the personnel.

However, after defender Kosmas Gezos tore a ligament in his foot, they felt the need and offered Boateng, who with a market value of 500,000 euros is one of the most valuable German footballers without a club, a short-term contract until the end of the year. “We wanted to offer Jérôme the Bundesliga sporting stage so that he can play his way back into the fold for top clubs,” explained Gorenzel-Simonitsch. The fact that there was no award means “nothing at all”. “Because we trust the group 100 percent, they are doing an outstanding job. We won’t bring in any new players who endanger this really great team spirit over the winter.”

At the beginning of October, FC Bayern also decided not to allow Boateng to return, as Uli Hoeneß confirmed, because legal proceedings were ongoing against him. 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 .
