“Helicopters, beaches, plane tickets? I don’t know where some information comes from,” shrugged the striker.

“I did not make any such request. When I sign a contract, I’m not interested in such things. Everything that was said about me was false.”

Al-Jazira also released a statement this evening confirming “negotiations with the player have stopped because of some technical details and not the demands of the player published by some media.”
