Barcelona sign Kevin-Prince Boateng on loan for rest of season:

Barcelona have signed Sassuolo, Kevin-Prince Boateng on loan until the end of the season, the clubs announced on Monday.


The Catalan club thank the Italian club for their openness in conducting these negotiations.


Before the deal was announced, Boateng told Sky Sport Italia that he'd already bid farewell to Sassuolo leadership.

I'm a bit sad because I'm leaving a professionally-run club in Sassuolo and it was hard to say goodbye to everybody today, even if Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world, Boateng told the outlet.

It was a testing day, but saying goodbye to my teammates, sporting director, Giovanni Carnevali and the coach meant so much to me.

I've got a lot of respect for this side and that is why I had to say my goodbyes in person.
