Orel Mangala and his agent have reacted angrily to an interview published by Flemish newspaper Het Nieuwsblad, in which the midfielder is quoted as saying he wants to leave VfB Stuttgart at the end of the season.

"It's all lies. Orel feels comfortable at VfB. In addition, he still has a two-year contract. We respect that," said Mangala's agent, Mehmet Eser, in an interview with Bild.

Mangala himself comments:

"I love the fans and am happy at VfB. I will give everything to make sure we stay in the first division. Because that's where VfB belongs. That's my focus at the moment."
