BREAKING NEWS: Barcelona Set To Sign Ghana's KP Boateng On Loan With €8m Purchase Option

According to Sky Sport Italia, Spanish side FC Barcelona are set to sign Sassuolo star Kevin-Prince Boateng on loan.

Gianluca Di Marzio, a senior transfer guru have revealed that Barca have identified the Ghanaian international as ‘the right man’ to strengthen their forward line this month.

Consequently, the Catalans would have reached ‘an agreement in principle’ to take the 31-year-old on ‘an expensive loan with an €8m option to buy’.

Boateng only joined Sassuolo from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer and has gone on to score five goals in 15 appearances.

He already has experience of Spanish football with Las Palmas, where he netted 10 times across 28 games in La Liga.

Barca, for their part, are in the market for attacking reinforcements after losing Paco Alcacer to Borussia Dortmund, while Ousmane Dembele is out for several weeks and Malcom has been linked with a move away.
