Mario Mandzukic’s agent says talk the Juventus man doesn’t want to play on the left is a “media invention”.
Tuttosport claimed over the weekend that the Croatian international was demanding to play through the middle, drawing a scathing response from the player himself.
“It’s a media invention that Mario doesn’t want to play on the left,” Ivan Cvjetkovic explained on Radio Crc.
“He’s always shown availability and professionalism for the club, he’s never asked to change position. He’s proven to be a great striker, even on the left.”
Cvjetkovic also discussed this Friday’s big game between Juve and Napoli at the San Paolo.
“He’s ready, and I’d be there too but I can’t be at the San Paolo to see the team coached by the best Serie A Coach at the moment, Maurizio Sarri.
“Napoli have 4 more points and if the Azzurri win, it’ll be difficult to catch them.
“I expect a spectacular game, Juventus need to score points to get closer to the Scudetto. There’s also Inter and Rome, as well as Napoli and Juventus, for the Scudetto.
“A few years ago, Napoli showed interest in Mario, but he was looking for a better showcase. He’s happy where he is now, but there can only be respect for Napoli.”
