With the departure of Munir El Haddadi who left for Sevilla earlier this month, Barcelona decided to sign another striker to fill the void left behind by the Moroccan International and once again, they went for the unexpected option.
Kevin Prince Boateng, who will be 32 in March was unveiled as a Barcelona player yesterday after signing a loan deal worth £1.8 million with the Catalan giants with the option to make it permanent for £7.1 million at the end of the season.
A young striker was supposed to be the priority, but Barca's decision to sign a player who is already in his thirties certainly spread shock waves.
