Fenerbahce Denies Lugano Transfer Rumors
By Nathan L. Redd

As expected, Fenerbahce issued a statement Thursday denying the rumors of defender Diego Lugano's transfer to Italian side Juventus. It was reported earlier this week that some officials connected to Juventus had expressed a desire in bringing the Uruguayan national to Torino during the January transfer window.

Fenerbahce, in the statement, declared "We want to underline the fact that we are not planning to sell any of our players to another club right now. Most importantly, Fenerbahce has not received any offer considering Lugano's transfer to another club. We want to inform everyone that these transfer rumours are completely false."

With the statement confirming what was previously believed, fans can expect to see Lugano in a yellow and navy uniform for a long time to come.
