It's that time of the year when soon-to-be European free agents try to use Metro as leverage! Our contestant today is Kevin-Prince Boateng.

The Ghanaian international is currently on the outs at Schalke 04 and is being followed by RBNY, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. And heck, with BigAppleSoccer revealing that RBNY holds a discovery claim on the midfielder, there might be more to this than usual!... Or, you know, not.

Boateng previously played for Hertha, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund, Portsmouth, and Milan. He has two goals in 15 caps for Ghana and was part of the national team at the last two World Cups. He was sent home from Brazil before Ghana's final game for disciplinary reasons.
