Stoke City open to Marko Arnautovic sale

Stoke City are willing to cash in on the services of Marko Arnautovic this summer. The Austrian striker has stalled over a contract extension with his existing deal due to expire at the end of next season.

Arnautovic, 27, was one of the shining lights for the Potters who had a mixed campaign in the Premier League last term.

The Mirror says the player is reluctant to commit his future at the Britannia Stadium, and this is likely to force the Potters to sanction his sale.

However, he will not go on the cheap with Mark Hughes' side having placed a £12.5m price tag on his signature.

French champions Paris Saint-Germain are said to hold a strong interest in the Austrian international.
