Boss Thomas Tuchel has forced the 23-year-old to train with the Under-23s for the past month, with a host of clubs preparing to swoop. Before confirming the signing of Frenkie de Jong from Ajax, Barcelona reportedly offered a pre-contract agreement to the France midfielder. However, PSG would…

“Wait, they’ve signed Boateng? The Bayern Munich defender Messi left scrambling on the ground?” “No the other one, Kevin-Prince Boateng.” “That guy who was at Las Palmas? Are you joking?” This conversation overheard in a Barcelona newsroom on Monday is one that likely played out in a number of different variations across the city, if not the world, as the news of the most surprising transfer of the season broke.
