Kevin-Prince Boateng unlikely to join Galatasaray or AC Milan - agent

Published on: 07 July 2015

Schalke midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng is unlikely to join Galatasaray or AC Milan, his agent has told Bild.

Boateng is searching for a new club after having been indefinitely suspended by Schalke, and agent Edoardo Crnjar said in May that Galatasaray were interested, while the player himself had suggested he was open to a return to Milan.

However, Crnjar has now said: "I don't think he will play at Galatasaray Istanbul or AC Milan. I don't know what will happen."

There had also been speculation about a potential move to Fenerbahce after Crnjar was pictured at the club's premises, but the agent said: "We met because our player Nani was joining Fenerbahce."

Boateng has also been linked with a move to Major League Soccer.

German sport website Spox reports that Boateng's former Milan teammate Kaka, who now plays for Orlando City, contacted the 28-year-old to convince him to move to the United States.

Boateng was suspended along with Schalke teammate Sidney Sam in May after a dismal run of form under boss Roberto Di Matteo, with sporting director Horst Heldt saying "the level of trust is no longer there."

Heldt stressed last month that there was no way back for the pair despite Andre Breitenreiter replacing Di Matteo as coach.

Bild reported on Friday that Sam was on the verge of joining Eintracht Frankfurt on loan, although later on Tuesday kicker claimed the move fell through after the forward failed his medical.
