Inter midfielder Joao Mario has taken to social media to slam reports suggesting he rejected a move to Chelsea because of Blues manager Maurizio Sarri being Italian.
“But is there someone who believes that this is true? Imagination yes but this is too much,” the 25-year-old posted to his official Twitter account in response to the reports.
The 25-year-old midfielder has also come in to links with Real Betis as well as Sporting Lisbon in recent weeks with his future set to lie elsewhere from Milan.
Ma c’è qualcuno che crede che questo è vero ? 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ immaginazione si, ma questo è troppo. https://t.co/sZDUS777w8
