Hughes confirms Arnautovic transfer
request
Stoke boss Mark Hughes has confirmed forward
Marko Arnautovic has submitted a transfer request to
leave the Potters.
And Hughes says there has been a bid, but it didn’t
match Stoke’s valuation.
“Marko and his people have put in a transfer request
but that happens on occasions. Any comings and
goings are at our discretion and it’s our decision
ultimately,” Hughes told Stoke’s Sentinel newspaper.
“Players can express an opinion or a view in terms of
where they see their future but at the end of the day
contracted players are contracted to the club and
ultimately we have the final say.
“We’ve never put him up for sale, we’ve never said
he’s for sale. Maybe clubs see a good player at
another club and I would imagine there would be
some interest from maybe one club.
“There’s been a bid but bids have to be reasonable
and that one wasn’t.”
