Arnautovic reveals only teams he would leave Stoke for
Stoke City ace Marko Arnautovic has revealed only offers from Real Madrid or Barcelona would convince him to leave the Potters.
Arnautovic, 27, was heavily linked with a move away from Stoke in the summer after enjoying his finest season in the Premier League to date.
However, the Austria international eventually put pen to paper on a new four-year deal keeping him tied to Stoke until 2020, ending speculation about his future at the Bet365 Stadium.
Arnautovic has struggled to reproduce last season’s performances this time around but insists he is completely focused on Stoke and isn’t looking to leave unless two of the biggest clubs in the world come calling.
“I’m always on the pitch with the goal of giving my best and helping my team,” the Stoke ace told Transferboom, via talkSPORT. “I have only just extended my contract so a transfer is not an issue for the time being. But the usual rumours will probably still exist.
“Of course, if Real or Barca would ask, but the focus and concentration is 100 per cent on Stoke City and my team here."
Stoke have endured a mixed season thus far, having overcome their dreadful start to the campaign with enough points to leave them five places above the bottom three and three points clear of the danger zone.
Since the start of last season Arnautovic has scored at least three more goals in the Premier League than any other Stoke player (12).
