The cause of Kevin-Prince Boateng’s departure from AC Milan became a topic of discussion, with initial statements from Peter Peters suggesting that racism might have been a factor. However, in a press release on the Schalke 04 website, the financial director clarified his earlier statements. After discussing the matter with Horst Heldt, the sports director, Peters admitted that his assumption about racism being the reason for Boateng’s transfer to Schalke was incorrect.
Peter Peters stated that he would apologize to Kevin-Prince Boateng for the misunderstanding. Boateng, the Ghanaian international, had joined Schalke 04 on a contract that would keep him at the club for the next four seasons.
