MILAN: Kevin Prince-Boateng has returned to AC Milan on a six-month deal following an unhappy spell at Schalke 04 and an aborted move to Sporting Lisbon, the Serie A club announced on Tuesday. German-born Ghanaian international Boateng played his last match for Milan in August 2013 but has been training with the club for several months after failing to secure a deal at Sporting, having quit Schalke under a cloud last May. A statement by the seven-time European champions said: “AC Milan announce that Kevin Prince Boateng has signed a contract with Milan until 30 June, 2016.” Milan’s offer of a six-month contract has only added to the intrigue surrounding Boateng’s return to the club for whom he has played a total of 100 matches across all competitions.
