Speaking on his move from Sassuolo, Boateng said he chose Fiorentina for their ‘project’ and because ‘they really wanted me’.
“I’m a bit tired but very happy to be here in Florence.
“I chose Fiorentina for the project: the club really wanted me and applied so much pressure to sign me.
“For me, that was a very important thing, given my age,” he told Firenze Viola.
The 32-year-old attacker is vastly experienced after spells with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke, Eintracht Frankfurt and AC Milan, winning a Scudetto and Supercoppa with the latter.
Kevin-Prince Boateng scored five goals in 15 appearances for Sassuolo before spending the second half of last season at Barcelona, where he played four times without finding the back of the net.
