Kevin-Prince Boateng Set to Leave Schalke 04 This Summer
The curtain is closing on Kevin-Prince Boateng’s time at Schalke 04. After two eventful seasons in Gelsenkirchen, the Ghanaian midfielder is expected to part ways with the Bundesliga club at the end of the current campaign.
According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italia, Boateng has made up his mind to seek a new challenge elsewhere, bringing to an end what has become an increasingly strained relationship with Schalke. The 28-year-old, once a marquee signing, has struggled to find consistent form and has often clashed with management over disciplinary matters and performances.
Though several destinations are being explored, two have emerged as frontrunners. Turkish giants Galatasaray are keen on bringing Boateng to Istanbul, where his flair and experience could bolster their midfield. Meanwhile, Major League Soccer outfit New York Red Bulls are also reportedly interested, potentially offering the former AC Milan and Portsmouth man a new stage in the United States.
Boateng’s decision to leave Schalke comes as little surprise. His form has dipped, and the club appears ready to undergo a squad overhaul. Both parties are understood to see a summer split as the best solution.
Should the move materialise, it would mark another chapter in Boateng’s well-travelled career. Known for his powerful style, versatility, and outspoken personality, the midfielder has played across Europe in Germany, England, and Italy, and now looks set for another adventure—possibly in Turkey or across the Atlantic.
For now, one thing is clear: Kevin-Prince Boateng’s Schalke story is coming to an end.
