Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng turned down an offer to join Barcelona before the start of the current season. The German defender revealed he felt honoured by the offer, but insisted he was in the right place already to win silverware.
With
50 caps for Germany, Boateng was a key part of the squad which won last
year's World Cup and has a contract in Munich until June 2018. Boateng also lifted the Champions League title with Bayern in 2013 when
they become the first German side to win the treble of European, league
and cup titles in the same season.
"I don't know the details of how much Barcelona offered for me, but it is true that I received an offer," the 26-year-old told Bild.
"When
a club like Barca shows an interest, that is of course a huge honour.
At the time I was already preparing for the new season with Bayern.
"These days you don't have to leave Bayern to join Barcelona if you want to win the Champions League."
