Vicenza Virtus president discloses Kevin-Prince Boateng’s ‘joke’ signing promise at Christmas dinner

Ghana forward Kevin-Prince Boateng has stated that he will sign for LR Vicenza Virtus, but only if they qualify for Serie A.

Boateng joined Fiorentina in the summer on a two-deal for an amount of €1 million from US Sassuolo.

The 32-year-old forward has however failed to clinch a regular starting berth.

According to Italian portal, Sport Mediaset, the Ghana international jokingly made a promise to Vicenza president Renzo Rosso at the club's Christmas dinner that he will sign for them but only if they manage to secure a passage to the top-flight league.

“If you go to A, I'll sign right away, in B a little less. A little out of respect for Prince ... "Here I see people with hearts, which is rare to find in other places.” Sport Mediaset quoted as said by Rosso.

Vicenza Virtus are sitting at the summit of the Italian Serie C table with 45 points after 19 round of games.

Boateng has scored one goal in 11 Serie A games for Fiorentina this term.
