Manchester United are looking to strengthen their back line this summer, and are also said to be interested in the German international after being £20m short of Tottenham's valuation of defender Toby Alderweireld. Raphael Varane of Real Madrid and Sevilla's Clement Lenglet are also thought to be options for United.
Although Boateng appeared to be closer to a move to Madrid last week, reports in Spain (via the Mirror) now suggest Old Trafford is a more likely destination. Jose Mourinho, it's claimed, currently has the upper hand in negotiations for the defender.
Boateng started for Germany in their World Cup opener in Moscow on Sunday afternoon, but was unable to prevent the reigning champions slipping to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Mexico.
Joachim Low's side started the game slowly and were eventually punished by Hirving Lozano's goal ten minutes from half-time - a goal which triggered an earthquake back in his homeland (no, really).
Germany will attempt to get their campaign to retain their title back on track next Saturday when they face Sweden in Sochi. Their final group game sees them take on South Korea in Kazan the following Wednesday.Top-flight footballers and F1 driver caught up in prostitution scandal
