Bayern blast price for Boateng
ayern Munich's chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has taken a swipe at Manchester City's hefty asking price for Jerome Boateng.[LNB] The 22-year-old has not been able to settle in at his new club since a reported £10.5million move from German giants Hamburger SV in 2010.[LNB]However, the German international may find it difficult to complete his dream move back to the Bundesliga because Roberto Mancini seems to be taking a stubborn stance on his £17million valuation.[LNB]That transfer hike has angered Rummenigge in particular who believed City were using "tactics" to get clubs to stump up extra cash unfairly to capture the versatile defender's services.[LNB]"They are using a tactic I've never seen. They don't respond, even if we try to contact them," he told The Sun.[LNB]"I think they are going to have 48 players under contract but, according to Financial Fair Play, they can have only 25.[LNB]"According to their last balance sheet, if I'm correct, they're down £127million.[LNB]"Maybe they still have a trick up their sleeves but I'm not sure they will be permitted to play in the Champions League."
