Frankfurt coach Bobic tried to stop Prince Boateng from leaving

Frankfurt coach Fredi Bobic has revealed he tried blocking Kevin Prince Boateng from leaving the club.

The Ghanaian international is on the verge of joining Italian Serie A side Sassuolo- after just a season with the German side.

He made his intentions clear to the board on Thursday- something they tried talking him out of but he was adamant on leaving.

Bobic who worked closely with the 31-year old says he would have loved to have the former AC Milan stay.
