Bologna coach Motta denies Arnautovic rift: But he should leave

Bologna coach Thiago Motta says Marko Arnautovic should leave this summer.

There has been tension between the pair this season.

Ahead of facing Cremonese, Motta said: "I've already made the choice for Saturday, you'll see it on Saturday. Marko, like everyone else, plays when he's fine, if he can be useful to the team. You've talked a lot about him, you've already put him in other teams while we're thinking about Cremonese.

"We don't have any personal problems, they're just technical choices, it's just what I see on the pitch and they're choices for the good of Bologna. If offers should arrive for Arnautovic, who is 34 years old, from teams aiming or playing in Europe, I think they would be dutiful, it would be right that he could have a great opportunity to play for that.

"In any case, if he's doing well and is useful for the team, he plays, period."
