Bayern Munich have dropped their pursuit of Manchester City defender Jerome Boateng.
The Daily Mail says Bayern have shelved their pursuit of Manchester City defender Boateng.
Bayern claim they were offering £7million for the Germany international and have been put off by a £17.5m asking price, although City insist Boateng was never for sale in the first place.
The 22-year-old joined City from Hamburg for £10.5m last summer, but his first season in the Premier League was disrupted by knee injuries.
