Official: Boateng leaves Milan, joins Schalke

KEVIN-PRINCE BOATENG is the new player of Schalke, signing a three-year deal – Milan have confirmed today.

Boateng scored two goals against PSV Eindhoven just a couple of days ago but that wasn’t even to convince Milan that he deserves to stay and the Number 10 is now a former Rossonero and a new player of the Bundesliga side Schalke 04.

Boateng was a fans favourite in his first season at Milan as he took the world by storm with his World Cup performances and then won the Scudetto with Milan. However, his other two season were not as impressive and many wanted him out.

Boateng has Schalke medical, Milan to sign Honda or Kaka?

Many had looked long for a buyer for the player and then Schalke knocked on the door and found an agreement with Milan.“A.C. Milan wishes to communicate that Kevin Prince Boateng has been transferred to Schalke 04,” an official statement on Milan’s website reads on Friday. It’s believed that the Rossoneri will earn €10-12 million. Boateng signed a three-year deal.

Nigel De Jong has already said goodbye to Boateng, who is in Germany right now and has already passed the medical check-ups, on Twitter. Boateng played 100 games for Milan and scored 17 goals in all competitions. Milan continue to work.
