AC Milan midfielder Boateng: I turned down Merkel invitation

AC Milan ace Kevin-Prince Boateng has no regrets choosing Ghana over Germany.

It is a decision that the Rossonero man does not regret, even as he turned down the chance to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

"The Chancellor had invited me to have a cup of tea with her, but I had gone on vacation and could not accept," Boateng told Chi.

"I preferred to accept the offer to play for Ghana, rejecting the German shirt. Jerome, however, remained loyal to Germany.

"Even if I were able to go back, I would take that same choice. Maybe the Chancellor wanted to ask just that, to return to play for the German team. But no, it's too late, there's no turning back."
