The German-born striker is open to a call to the Black Stars team for the first time since 2014
Ghana international Kevin-Prince Boateng is not closing the door on a possible return to national service after a six-year absence.
The Besiktas attacker has been away from the Black Stars since he achieved an indefinite suspension during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil for insulting then-head coach James Kwasi Appiah.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) insisted that the 33-year-old apologize for his conduct before being considered for a call-up, a requirement the player has wanted to fulfill.
“With the national team, I didn’t like the way it ended because they gave me so much. But you never know, maybe he can go back to playing one more time, “Boateng said during a conversation on Instagram Live with his younger brother and Bayern Munich center back Jerome Boateng.
A presidential commission of inquiry ready to investigate Ghana’s disappointing performance at the World Cup has advised that the attacker should never be called to the national side again.

New Black Stars coach CK Akonnor recently revealed that he had a conversation with Boateng, adding that he did not believe the former AC Milan and Barcelona man was “ready to come and play.”
Born to a Ghanaian father and a German mother in the city of Berlin, Boateng switched his international allegiance to represent Ghana at the 2010 World Cup, having played for Europeans at various youth levels.
He called for time in his international career shortly after helping Ghana reach the quarterfinals of the world masterpiece in South Africa, but he rescinded his decision at the climax of the 2014 World Cup playoffs.
