"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. \u2014 Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola briefly addressed rumors surrounding J\u00E9r\u00F4me Boateng's potential move to FC Barcelona on Monday. At a press conference before Wednesday's Major League Soccer All-Star game, the former Bar\u00E7a boss addressed the question quickly and sternly.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Normally, I don't speak about rumors in the newspapers,\" Guardiola said in German. \"I do not know what the media say.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pressed further, Guardiola said Boateng is \"100 percent\" a part of his plans for the upcoming season, despite a number of reports in the Spanish and German press that Barcelona has made him its top transfer priority to strengthen the back line.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Barcelona wants to secure another defender to allow new manager Luis Enrique to implement a tactical system with three center backs. If Guardiola is to be believed, Boateng won't be Bar\u00E7a's man.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The German World Cup contingent is in transit to the West Coast, where it will play a limited role vs. the MLS All-Stars on Wednesday. None of the players, including Boateng, has trained yet following a three-week break.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
