Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has rubbished claims of a rift with Real Madrid veteran Toni Kroos.

There's been claims Gundogan would have problems with Kroos returning to the Germany squad ahead of the Euros.

But he told SDZ: “(Germany coach) Julian Nagelsmann had apparently heard here and there that Toni's return might be a problem for me, then he picked up the phone, called me and asked me directly.

"I immediately told him 'I totally agree with that and I have never had any problems with Toni.

"On the contrary, we value each other a lot and we get along well'."
