The carreer

Boateng grew up in Hertha Berlin, where he joined the youth team in 1994, at the age of 7 and with whom he won the German B-Junioren championship in 2003 and the German Junior Cup in 2004 and moved to the first team in 2005.
On 31 July 2007 he was bought by Tottenham for a sum close to 5.4 million pounds before returning to Germany in 2009, to Borussia Dortmund for a six-month loan.

Returning to Tottenham after his loan expired, he arrived at Portsmouth where he remained for a season before finding the affection of the Milan fans and various sporting successes: On 7 May 2011 he won his first Scudetto with the Rossoneri, then in August of the same year wins the Italian Super Cup against Inter.
On 19 October 2011 he scored his first goal in the Champions League in the match valid for the third day of the group stage of the 2011-2012 edition against BATE and 4 days later, on 23 October 2011, he scored against Lecce his first career hat-trick.
In 2012 he changed shirt and chose Clarence Seedorf’s number 10, becoming a point of reference for the team. An unmissable one-year spell leads him to wear the Schalke 04 shirt before returning to Milan with the 72 shirt.

Subsequently, in August 2016 he moved to Las Palmas for a year and then in 2017 he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt to return to Italy again and wear the Sassuolo shirt in 2018. The adventure at Sassuolo lasted 6 months: on 21 January 2019 he moved to the Spanish club Barcelona with the formula of the onerous loan, but played 4 games without being redeemed by the Blaugrana.

Thus, returning to Sassuolo, he was sold to Fiorentina and Besiktas in 2020. In the same year he returned to Italy and played for Monza in Serie B before returning to where his career began, at Hertha Berlin, 14 years earlier. With the German team he remains until 2023, the year of his official retirement from football.
