KEVIN PRINCE-BOATENG is to leave Las Palmas just three months after signing a new deal.
The Canary Island club have announced that “irreversible personal reasons” are behind the decision for the former Spurs and Portsmouth midfielder to depart.
The Ghana international joined the club last summer and was just three months into a fresh three-year deal.
Boateng has reportedly turned down a pay rise when he signed the contract.
A club statement said: “Boateng will continue his sporting career at a destination that allows him to be close to his family.”
There is a press conference later today in which both Boateng and club officials are expected to explain the decision further.
It appears an amicable parting of ways, with the Las Palmas thanking Boateng for his professionalism during his stint.
Boateng, 30, married his model girlfriend Melissa Satta in her native Italy last summer.
