 Boateng who recently signed for Monza has made it is known that, the families of the 8 victims who lost their lives can count on him for support.

“I heard about it and it really made me sad,” he said.

“I first saw it on Social Media and I called a friend to find out if it was true. He told me about it and I felt really really sad because I have kids of my own, one is 12 and one is 6 so it’s a big tragedy and it hits me hard,” he added.

“Like I said I head it on the news and that is why I am here, I want to help.” 

“Anything that is necessary, I want to help. I want to get in touch with the families. I want to give them the necessary support to feel free. I know it’s hard, and I know how hard it is for parents to bury their children,”  the former AC Milan attacker concluded.
