Fenerbahce Denies Interest in Real's Roberto Carlos

After numerous Brazilian and European media outlets reported news of Real Madrid's Roberto Carlos possibly moving to Fenerbahce, the Turkish club issued a statement Thursday denying any current interest in the Spanish League star. Fener admitted that it was at one time interested in the Brazilian national, but indicated that they are no longer interested in a Roberto Carlos transfer to Istanbul. Despite the denial, the club has denied interest in other stars previously, only to sign them to deals following their issued statements. Only time will tell if the interest and/or denial is a public relations ploy or not.
