Jerome Boateng joined Manchester City for £10.4 million on a five-year deal in 2010. But he failed to settle in quickly after suffering an injury setback while he was on international duty. He made a total of only 24 appearances for Man City in a season that turned out to be a mix of injuries, dissatisfaction and frustration.

He was dispirited by the fact that he had to play at right back, swapping his place with Micah Richards throughout the season.

In 2011, Boateng expressed his desire to leave Manchester City for Bayern Munich, stating that playing for Bayern would help his chances of playing regularly for the German national team and that he was frustrated at having to play out of position at right back. His wish was granted and he signed for Bayern for a fee of 13.5mn euros.
Played in his favoured position, the defender has reached the top of his game and is widely regarded as one of the best centre backs in the world. He is a now a regular starter for Bayern Munich and the German National team and has made a total of 141 and 50 appearances for them respectively.
