Sporting Lisbon withdraws from deal to sign Kevin-Prince Boateng
Lisbon: Sporting Lisbon has withdrawn from the deal to sign Ghanaian international Kevin-Prince Boateng at the last minute over a disagreement about the distribution of the player’s image rights.
The Portuguese club explained its decision through social networking sites on Wednesday, while it also wished the Ghanaian international its best wishes on a professional and personal level, reports Efe.
Sporting thus denied that the disagreement was due to the player’s physical condition, as the Portuguese press had speculated.
The attacking midfielder was in Lisbon on Monday to finalise his move for the next two seasons, after he was left go last May from the German club Schalke 04.
The player, born in Berlin to a Ghanaian father, is has been connected to several controversies on and off the field.
Kevin-Prince has previously played for Hertha Berlin, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund, Portsmouth, AC Milan and Schalke 04.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
