The legendary defender has agreed to return to the Allianz Arena, where he spent 10 seasons and the deal is expected to be completed within the next 2 days.
Boateng has been training with the Bavarians lately as they look to lure him back as cover-up in central defense.
The 35-year-old has been without a club ever since his contract expired at Lyon this June.
He has made 363 appearances for the Bavarians in total, winning 9 Bundesliga titles, 2 Champions Leagues and 5 DFB-Pokals.
Bayern’s main man in defense Matthijs de Ligt and Thomas Tuchel is looking for a potential replacements and so far Boateng seems to be the prime candidate.
