But Mandzukic has reacted angrily to those reports, clarifying that he did not give those quotes and that he would never discuss such things in public.

He wrote on his official Twitter page: "Words have been attributed to me regarding Dani and Leo. I have NEVER said such things.

"Who knows me knows that I never talk behind anyone's back. If I have to say something I always speak face-to-face and those where (sic) NOT my words. Don't worry guys, FAKE."
