Kevin-Prince Boateng will rescind decision not to play for Ghana - Muntari
Posted On Tuesday, 19th March 2013
Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari has revealed his AC Milan teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng is getting closer to rescinding his decision to quit the Black Stars.
Muntari also disclosed that the Germany-born player consistently talks about the national team, showing that he still loves the national team despite quitting the Black Stars about two years ago.
The 26-year-old stunned the world with his decision to retire from the Ghana national team in 2011 just over one year after securing a nationality switch to play for the country of his father.
Boateng’s decision was even more startling especially after excelling with the Black Stars at the 2010 World Cup which helped him to secured a bumper cash move to the Italian Serie A giants AC Milan.
Despite quitting the national team, the ex-Germany youth international consistently sent goodwill messages to the Black Stars team during the 2013 Nations Cup.
These messages, usually posted on the Milan star’s Twitter page, is seen by many as overtures towards his return to the Black Stars.
The German-born’s club teammate, Muntari with whom he played together with during their days at Portsmouth now hints at Boateng’s return.
“Prince is a cool guy, he is a good guy. He was having some little problems that is why he decided to stay apart,” he told MTNFootball.com.
“But he always talks about the national team so hopefully one day he will change his mind and come because definitely we need him here.”
Muntari is one of the star names expected to lineup for the Black Stars when they take on Sudan in a crucial 2014 World Cup qualifier on Sunday.

We need you bro. We’ve all made unwise decisions in our lives, so if you’ve taking care of your personal matters which is important, we will gladly welcome you. All the best who you’re decision will be sooner that later. I hope the Ayews will also change their mind.
if Prince wants to return is better he comes be4 we qualify for de world cup cos who shd qualify for him to come n play.
ok lets welcome him if he decides to come back to the land of his ancestors national team…eventhough i loved him during the wc tournament & hated him after the wc but i think we really need this guy back in our team.. So good people of our blessed homeland Ghana lets forgive him and accept him back now that he has come back to his senses…
Muntari should stop the P.R.O work because it won’t work
If Boateng wants to come back to B.S he shd come now not after we’ve qualified. He shd make himself available for the qualifiers. I hate that kind of cunning smartness on the part of Boateng. No ‘monkey dey work, baboon dey chop’ kind of things in the team now. GHANA FIRST.
yes Paul, l agree with u, he should come now n not when we have qualified cos it will be like monkey dey work, baboon dey chop
Lol, who says we need him? With or without him Ghana will trive
well for me we shld see him as a prodigal son nd accept him back again, bt lyk paul said, he shld be available for d qualifiers nd nt after d qualification is ova, cuz dat will b suicida, we need him aniway
Boateng I beg you, please come BACK..
utter gabbage.He wants to return because there is world cup coming.
If this attitude of retiring today,come back tommorrow is not dealt with,the black stars will have no future.
I know some of the Gfa executives are pillocks but our players should sometimes put national interest at heart.
Would Messi or Ronaldo turn their backs on their nations?
It was a big mistake making Gyan the captain after retiring.
The likes of Beckham had been crucified by newspapers,threat from every corner of England yet they showed character and played for the three lions inspite of.
I wonder what would happen if any of our players were like Messi,Ronaldo,Xavi,Inesta etc.
Arrogance mixed with stupidity.
benny, i agree with you that messi and Bekham will not turn their back on their national teams. this comment tends to creat the notion that players refusing to play for their national tyeams is an african thing…actually its not….
1.Gullit of Netherlands refused to play for national team after being given a different role and substituted for Overmaars by coach Advocaat.
2. Scotland:1993 Richard Gough refused to play for the team after a bitter dispute with Roxburgh over the tactics for the game
3.in 2010 french players refused to train in support of anelka axed from the national team.
4′.Paul Scholesof England announced his retirement from international football in August 2004, citing his family life and his club career with Manchester United as being more important.
5. Carragher(England) in 2007, threw his shin pads out of his socks because he thought lesser players were being played in his preferred position, so did Paul Robinson, Ben Foster and Michael Carrick , all being English. and lately John Terry.
6.Riquelme retired from the Argentina national team on 13 September 2006 because of critics.
the list goes on.
7.Stephen Ireland : (Ireland) lied four different times with fake deaths to retire from international.
My point is to suggest that this is African problem is a LOT ignorant, this is a worldwide problem.
Ghana needs all our super-stars for the World Cup. All hands must be on deck for the qualifiers, we cannot afford to miss out. The coach should come down from that mountain of African ego-centric and dictatorship, and embrace all our stars, and treat them equally.
LET’S GO GHANA !!!!!
Not after others have work hard to qualify us for the world cup for him to come and take some ones else,s place, that is a shame.
Hahahaa…. World cup is just around the corner.It’s too early.I thought he will come after Brazil 2014.If he is not ready to play in Africa then he should not think of playing in the WC.I think it will be good for him to come now to play in the buga buga WC qualifiers than to sneak into the team after qualifications.Ghanaians are not fools to be taken for granted.Anyway IT’S ONLY A FOOL WHO DOESN’T CHANGE HIS/HER MIND.YOU ARE WELCOME
Why did Muntari say KPB will rescind decision not to play for Ghana? Why do you put words into his mouth. Muntari simply said hopefully PKB will change his mind one day and play for Ghana, but he hasn’t done that.
This is what Sulley said “Prince is a cool guy, he is a good guy. He was having some little problems that is why he decided to stay apart,” he told MTNFootball.com.
“But he always talks about the national team so hopefully one day he will change his mind and come because definitely we need him here.”
GSN, please don’t misinform your valuable readers.
Shall we keep on suffering from zambia oh my lord my God–Kwesi appiah wept!after 1-0 lost to chipolopo in wc qualifier
Reasons Ghana player are running away
Andre ayew ”am tired of losing to mighty chipolopolo.4 consecutive times now Mighty zambia keep disgracing an shame us I can’t stand this I retire frm international football prematurely”
Micheal Essien”so GFA think am a fool?zambia are King of africa they are 3 pionts above us and Gfa invites me to join them and suffer in the hands of zambia.they keep losing to zambia.now tell me where they will get those three pionts and leapfrog zambia??.am enjoying myself in real madrid despite am cleaning superstar strike cristiano ronaldo’s boots am ok with that than to suffer with ghana.bcos is only a foreign tactician that can beat Zambia not local sisi coach”
Asamoah gyan ”zambia is better than us we keep losing to them.”
Prine boateng”’Ghana are loosers zambia will eat them am not returning
Boateng or not Zambia wll be at the WC.
YOU ARE A ZAMBIAN BANTU APE!!!
GSN cross check your facts well, Muntari had already left Pompey before KPB came there.
I agree with u Max Muntari played for Portsmouth the year they won the FA CUP Final and left that same season. Then Boateng and Quincy Owusu Abeyie joined Portsmouth the year after the FA Cup victory.
O Ghana! this dude is trying to raise his value by playing in the world cup.Shine your eyes GFA.
OH WE NEED HIM MUCH IN THE TEAM
Just play the qualifiers and you would be no problem
Boateng come nd rescue u qualify for the W/Cup …we hanging by a thread, your input will definately be appreciated. Viva the revolucioooon!!!
@king, i am surprise upon ur noises here, u don’t know how to count 1,2,3… & also have grammatical scratches in ur spelled words. Zuku human being like u. U are far left behind in education so don’t compare urself to Ghanaians.
lol,what a funny story,who should work for someone to come and chop?my fellow ghanains we should open our eyes well cos this guy want to used us again since world cup is around the coner,why shd me deceied to rethink his decision now even after the gfa boss,the coach took tym to talk to him be he refused to even meet them?world cup is just around and he wants someone to play and qualified and he come and chop at the world stage to make name for himself.
(why should he)pls sorry for the writing mistake
This does not surprise me ‘cos KPB cannot play for any other nation except Ghana since his nationality switch. So for him to have that international platform it will only make sense for him to rescind his decision. He is only using Ghana to achieve his personal ambitions.
lol hes only waiting till we qualify.. or untill the last group stage match when it is 100% certain we qualify
