Kevin-Prince Boateng is "close"
to joining Barcelona from Sassuolo, Sky Sport said Monday.
It would be a return to La Liga for the 31-year-old former AC
Milan Ghana midfielder, who played for Las Palmas in 1016-17.
Boateng, also formerly with Tottenham and Portsmouth
Kevin-Prince Boateng, has reportedly agreed terms with the
reigning Spanish champions over an initial loan move.
Boateng, who spent two seasons at White Hart Lane before
moving to Fratton Park in 2009, signed for Sassuolo in the
summer having left Eintracht Frankfurt and has starred for
Roberto De Zerbi's side as they have cemented a midtable
position in Serie A.
Boateng has scored five league goals so far despite missing
several weeks due to injury, with Barça understood to have been
impressed with his performances in a false 9 role.
He is expected to fly to Barcelona on Monday to complete his
move, which is expected to include an option for Barcelona to
purchase him for 8 million euros at the end of the season.
