According to a report from Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg, Jerome Boateng will not sign a contract today, but it could just be a matter of time. It also appears that Thomas Tuchel is a driving force behind the move:

❗️Jerome #Boateng won’t sign a contract today. More talks and negotiations will follow as reported. But the bosses are still willing to offer him a short-term contract.

➡️ Boateng won’t travel with the team to Copenhagen

➡️ In August 2018 there was a secret meeting between Tuchel & Boateng in Munich. He wanted to bring him to #PSG at that time.

Boateng was at Bayern Munich’s training session today per pictures from the practice:
