Boateng confirms Barca exit

Sassuolo loanee Kevin-Prince Boateng has announced that his spell at Barcelona is over. “I wanted to give more…”

Boateng made a stunning move to Barca from Sassuolo in January, but he is on his way back to Emilia-Romagna after just four appearances for the Blaugrana, who have chosen not to exercise their €8m option to buy.

“Today ends one of the most exciting experiences of my career,” the 32-year-old wrote on Instagram.

“Today ends one of the most exciting experiences of my career,” the 32-year-old wrote on Instagram.

“I thank every person who made this possible. I thank my teammates who made me feel at home from day one, champions and great people.

“I thank all the management, available and always present. A special thought goes to all the fans: I will always carry you in my heart.

“I wanted to give something more, but I did my best in every minute of training and game that was given to me to honour this fantastic shirt!”

Sky Sport Italia journalists Gianluca Di Marzio and Fabrizio Romano, meanwhile, claim he will not stop off at Mapei Stadium for long as he is in talks to join Turkish side Besiktas.
