Serie B club Monza have completed the permanent signing of Kevin-Prince Boateng on a one-year contract from Fiorentina.
The deal includes the option for an additional year if the Whites and Reds get promoted to Serie A.
It also reunites the 33-year-old with former AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi, who brought him to the San Siro stadium during his reign at the club.
“AC Monza announces that it has definitively acquired Kevin-Prince Boateng from Fiorentina, who has signed a contract until 6/30/2021, with an option to renew for a second year, subject to certain conditions,” the club announced.
Boateng joined Fiorentina on a two-year contract last August after the completion of his brief La Liga stint with Barcelona.
The former Ghana international scored a goal in 14 Serie A games for the Violets in the first half of the 2019-20 season before leaving the club to join Turkish Super Lig Besiktas in January.
In Istanbul, he returned three goals in 11 league games during the second half of last season.
He joins Pepin from Equatorial Guinea in Cristian Brocchi’s team for the 2020-21 season. Monza is ranked 13th in the Serie B table after starting their league campaign with a goalless draw against SPAL on Friday.
Boateng will aim to make their Serie B debut when the rojiblancos visit Empoli for their next league game after Tuesday’s Coppa Italia game against Triestina.
