The Austrian once told a magazine what he was looking for in a woman: ‘You must be tattooed with black hair and silicone breasts.’ Unhappy at the reaction to that, Arnautovic released this statement: ‘In recent days, several German newspaper articles from Austria spread quotes which are falsehoods about Marko Arnautovic’s life. Arnautovic would like to take this opportunity to distance themselves from the messages and point out that these are far from any truth. ‘ That prompted the magazine to release audio of him saying exactly what they claimed he had.
