Jerome Boateng says the Bayern Munich squad are
desperate for Pep Guardiola to remain at the club amid
speculation over his future.
The former Barcelona boss has won two Bundesliga titles,
one DFB-Pokal, the Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Club World
Cup since taking over in Bavaria in 2013.
Speculation persists that he may be tempted by a move to
the Premier League, however, with Manchester City
repeatedly mooted as potential suitors.
Boateng, though, insists that he and his team-mates are
keen for Guardiola to remain at the Allianz Arena.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Goal , the defender
said: “It's hard to say. My feeling is, that he gives
everything for the club. We notice that in the training.
“He wants to make everyone better and make us better as a
team. That's the priority at the moment.
“He, his family and the people from FC Bayern must decide
what will happen in the future. We all want him to stay.”
Guardiola has endured a somewhat frosty relationship with
the media in recent months, but Boateng insists that the
Spaniard is different behind the scenes.
"He is very ambitious and lives football. All the rest isn't
true. Many things come from the people outside the club.
For us, that is no issue,” he added.
“But I think, it's normal how he reacts, because the people
don't see how we train and work.
“They don’t take in our discussions and don’t know how we
want to play. I think some of them should restrain a little
bit.”
