"Am I the Cristiano Ronaldo of Sassuolo? Maybe yes, but I'm 500 goals away," he told Sky Sports Italia.
"I'd like to beat him, but first you have to beat Juventus and they have some other very good players.
"Besides, I can't do it all alone. I need the help of my teammates, I can't fight anyone by himself.
"His arrival proves that Serie A is very important, the best player in the world has arrived here and we can only enjoy his 'landing' because he'll show us things we've never seen in Italy."
Boateng previosuly squared off with Ronaldo in the Spanish La liga during his time at Las Palmas.
