Serbian and Juventus striker, Dusan Vlahovic has refuted the rumours making the rounds that he is having a romantic affair with his national teammate, Predrag Rajkovic’s wife.
He made the clarification while speaking at the World Cup press conference on Wednesday, November 30, ahead of Serbia’s final group game in Qatar, labelling the rumours as an “absurdity”.
Serbia who have picked up just one point from two matches they have played so far, will face fellow European, Switzerland in a must-win match later today, they will also be hoping Brazil do not lose to Cameroon in the other match in their group.
There have been innuendos suggesting that the Serie A forward has been having an intimate affair with Ana Cakic.

It was also said that the saga was what led to him making just one substitute appearance for his national team in Qatar so far.
Rubbishing the rumour, Vlahovic said he opted to speak about it because he needed to protest his name and integrity.
He went on to describe the innuendo as ” ridiculous ” and threatened to take legal action against those spreading the rumour.
He said, “I have to talk about it because this is my name being bandied about
“What we all read and hear about, there’s no need to comment on something so absurd.
“These stories are ridiculous, I just want to protect my name and my integrity, so I will take legal action if necessary.
Vlahovic further said those behind the lie are people who, having failed to achieve anything in their lives, are now seeking attention with his name.
