I told Jerome Boateng to join Juventus - Kevin Boateng

Kevin-Prince Boateng has revealed that he advised brother and Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng to join Juventus.

Kevin-Prince returned to Serie A with Fiorentina over the summer, having spent the second half of last season at Barcelona.

Now, according to the 32-year-old, he could have been facing his younger sibling on Saturday.

“It would’ve been great to see him here, above all because it doesn’t look like he’ll play much for Bayern,” he told Bild.

“In any case, I recommended Juventus to him. Juve are a great club. Serie A is very interesting.”

Jerome had been linked with the Bianconeri as a possible stopgap for the injured Giorgio Chiellini.
