It was reported that Adebayor had criticized Africa’s football governing body, the Confederation of African Football (CAF), along with the Liverpool duo.

It was claimed that Adebayor was unhappy with players winning the CAF Player Of The Year award when not playing in the continent, and was quoted taking a dig at Mane and Salah.

Salah picked up the award in 2017 and 2018 before Mane became the latest player to win the prestigious accolade last year.

“I would just say that these statements are not mine. I have not granted any media interviews. Always be careful not to post false information.”

Adebayor also captioned his tweet with the quote saying: “Friends watch out for #fakenews!”
