"I'm certainly not going to run away, situations can change quickly," he says, while his president Uli Hoeness has publicly advised him earlier this week to look for a new club.
"I can imagine staying at Bayern, I'm still motivated and I'm going to attack the new season," he says, in response to critics who have criticized his lack of involvement in recent months.
Aged 30, the 2014 world champion was a year ago still essential in central defense. He has gradually lost his place this season in favor of young Niklas Süle. He did not play either the title game in the league or the final of the cup, won against Leipzig (3-0).
He himself attributes his bad season to the shock caused by his missed transfer to Paris SG early in the season. "In my head I was already gone," he says. "When we make you such a firm promise, and suddenly you are told + No +, something is falling into you".
PSG had agreed with Boateng, then finally refused to pay the $ 50 million claimed by Bayern. The incident provoked the fury of Bayern, who had attacked PSG sports director Antero Enrique.
"I would advise him to leave the club, I think he needs a new challenge," Bayern President Uli Hoeness said on Sunday. "He does not seem to have a place here anymore, as a friend I would advise him to look for a new club."
The defender, who also came off the national team by Joachim Löw, has a contract with Munich until the end of 2021.
