Genoa set to sign Portsmouth star Kevin-Prince Boateng and farm him out on loan to Milan - report

According to a report in Corriere dello Sport, Ghana international Kevin-Prince Boateng is close to joining Italian powerhouse Milan on a one-year loan deal. The Rossoneri won't have the option to make Boateng's stay permanent.

New Milan coach Massimilano Allegri is eager to add another midfielder to his squad this summer and he has supposedly made Boateng his primary target on the transfer market.

The 23-year-old midfielder is reportedly set to leave his current club, Portsmouth, for Serie A side Genoa and the Grifone are ready to farm the former Hertha Berlin star out on loan.

Boateng is expected to sign a four-year deal with Genoa in the near future before moving on to Milan on a temporary basis.

Boateng had also attracted the interest of Lazio and Newcastle United with his good performances at the 2010 World Cup, but Genoa's offer for the midfielder proved to be the most interesting one for Portsmouth.
