Boateng reveals desire to join bayern munich

Following widespread reports concerning the possible signings of Manchester City's Jerome Boateng and Bayer Leverkusen's Arturo Vidal, Bayern Munich have issued official statements on their transfer targets.

Both players have expressed their desire to move to Munich but their respective clubs do not want to sell.

"Jerome Boateng insists on a move to Munich because he sees it as an outstanding opportunity," said Bayern sporting director Christian Nerlinger.

However, he explained that City's demands are currently preventing the deal. The transfer fee requested is one that Bayern "by far are unwilling to pay."

Nerlinger added that should City refuse to lower their valuation, which is estimated to be in the region of £18 million, he is "very pessimistic that the transfer will be made."
