Medical tests, the signature, and the tour of the Camp Nou: in Barcelona, new signing Kevin Prince Boateng had a very busy day. Yesterday, the former Milan player - who has transferred to Sassuolo in the summer - left the Neroverdi to join Barcelona on loan for the rest of the season. A surprise to many, Boateng will wear #19 - a number that has brought good luck to Messi.
These were his first words in the press conference: "Thank you for this opportunity. It is an honour to be here and I want to win everything. Yesterday I was sad because I had to say farewell to my Sassuolo. But I explained to my teammates that I could not refuse Barcelona, I had to run here".
"I know I would not play as as starter. I am here for the experience and for helping the side; I want to help my companions when I can. Playing with Messi and Suarez is an honor. I just want to watch how they play."
"The role of striker is perfect for me at the age I am currently at. I have played in different roles but now I feel good to play up top. I'm here to play well and I my goal is to sign up for several other years. I have already played with Las Palmas in La Liga and that experience will help me to adapt easily to the rhythms of Spain, which has the most important championship in the world".
"The best player of all the possible worlds is Messi, he has shown it in the last 10 years".
