Kevin Prince-Boateng insists that Italy is not a racist
country despite being subjected to abuse prior to his move to Schalke from AC
Milan.
The club’s chief financial officer Peter Peters claimed
earlier this month that the Ghana international’s desire to move was driven by
racism in Italy, but he later admitted that his initial assumption regarding
the attacking midfielder’s motives to leave Serie A had proved to be completely
wrong.
Boateng has now had his say on the matter as well and has
stressed that he did not leave Milan because of the racist incident.
“I don’t leave a country and lump all inhabitants
together only because 10 people shout ignorant slogans,” the 26-year-old told
Kicker.
“I want to get one thing straight: Italy is not a racist
country.”
Boateng spent three seasons at Milan, winning one Serie A
title in the process, before his return to Germany this summer.
