Kevin-Prince Boateng confirmed his shock transfer to Barcelona, announcing his arrival at the club and hoping to score against Real Madrid at Clasico.

And although Barcelona has not yet confirmed its decision, Boateng itself announced the deal in an interview with Sky Sports.
"Barca, I'm coming!" Boateng said Sky sports. "I am sad to leave Sbaduolo but it is a good luck. "
The striker has also downplayed earlier comments on Real Madrid, his rival Barca.
In an interview in 2017, Boateng said he preferred Real Madrid to Barcelona, while baderting that he could have done it at Bernabeu's he had applied stronger earlier in his career.
Boateng, 31, however, said he was focusing on his new club and aimed to find the net against Real Madrid at their next meeting in the Spanish capital on 2 March.
"Do not ask me questions about Real Madrid, it's only a thing of the past, I just want to focus on Barcelona and hope to score in Bernabéu for the next Clasico."
Barcelona will be Boateng 's fourth club in the last three seasons, although the Ghanaian international has performed well at each of its stops.
He found the back of the net 10 times in 28 Liga games against Las Palmas in 2016-17, before joining Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, where he scored six goals in 31 league games.

His time in Sbaduolo has also started well. In 13 Serie A matches, Boateng scored four goals, even though he has not found the bottom of the net since the end of October.
Boateng will occupy the depth of attack for the La Liga champions. Barca director Ernesto Valverde admitted the club was looking for options after allowing Munir El Haddadi to leave earlier in the window.
He will become the second player of the winter season to join Barca, who also recruited Valencia defender Jeison Murillo in January.
