​Chelsea, Arsenal target Boateng will leave Bayern Munich this summer

Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng is set to depart the club this summer.

The veteran, who has been linked with Chelsea and Arsenal, is out of contract in the summer.

Bayern have taken the decision to part with Boateng, who has been with the club since 2011, and the player is said to be happy with the call.

The club's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic spoke about Boateng's future with Sky in Germany.

"Jerome's contract expires in the summer. It will not be extended," Salihamidzic told Sky Sports.

"He will leave - hopefully with titles."
