Kevin-Prince Boateng discloses reasons for turning down Inter Milan overtures

Ghana international Kevin-Prince Boateng has disclosed that he rebuffed overtures from Inter Milan due to his love for rivals AC Milan.

Boateng was heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan during the summer transfer window following a remarkable performance for Spanish La Liga club UD Las Palmas.

But the 30-year-old forward opted against the move and joined German side Eintracht Frankfurt on a three year deal.

“In terms of emotion and affection, my three years at Milan are worth 10 for many others.” Boateng told kicker.

“I could’ve dealt with certain moments better, especially in my third season, but I lacked someone off the field who could help me.

“Nonetheless, I have no regrets, as I played important games, won and scored at the last second and heard the San Siro roar for my goal one last time.

“It’s true, Inter wanted me, but as far as I was concerned, there was only ever one Milan. I could’ve chosen other clubs too, not just Inter, but I’m a man of my word.”

Boateng initially played for Milan between 2010 and 2013 before returning to the club for a short spell in 2016.
