Kevin-Prince Boateng is set to undergo a medical at FC Barcelona on Tuesday according to reports in Italy and Spain.

Sky Sport Italia on Tuesday afternoon confirmed that the Ghanaian is on the verge of joining the Spanish giants.

Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign Sassuolo forward Kevin-Prince Boateng on a six-month loan deal with an €8 million option to buy.
