Fenerbahçe responds to transfer rumors: 'These reports are disinformation'

The statement, which notes that processes are conducted in accordance with principles of confidentiality and professionalism, emphasized that claims regarding the club looking for houses for certain players, signing lease agreements, or requesting letters of guarantee on behalf of the club are completely untrue.

The announcement, which clarified transfer procedures under the current board of directors, stated that practices such as renting houses or presenting homes on behalf of players are absolutely not the case.

"Information is not being leaked; only official channels should be trusted"

The statement underscored that no public announcements are made regarding any transfer until an official agreement is reached, and that no prior information is shared with members of the press by the board of directors or staff, noting that transfer efforts are carried out with a corporate approach and diligence.

The full text of the official statement made by Fenerbahçe Sports Club:

"During the current transfer window, it has been observed that numerous reports and claims concerning our club that do not reflect the truth are appearing in some media outlets. As it is not possible to respond to each of these claims individually, the following statement has become necessary.

Our club conducts transfer processes in line with the principles of confidentiality and professionalism. No announcement is made regarding any transfer until an official agreement is reached; no prior information is shared with any member of the press or media organization by our Board of Directors or our staff. All official statements regarding transfer processes are made only through our club's communication channels.

Despite this, reports are being made that our club has made contact with numerous players with whom we have not held any negotiations; completely untrue claims are being put forward, such as that houses are being looked at for players, lease agreements are being signed, or letters of guarantee are being requested on behalf of our club.

We would like to state clearly once again that; in none of the transfer processes carried out or to be carried out during the term of our current Board of Directors are there any practices such as renting houses, signing lease agreements, or presenting homes on behalf of players.

We consider the association of numerous names not on our transfer agenda with our club without any concrete basis as disinformation activities aimed solely at gaining views and engagement.

Our club continues its transfer efforts with a corporate approach and diligence. When the processes are completed, the necessary information will be shared with the public only through our official communication channels, as always.

We kindly request that the public does not give credence to speculative news and claims that are outside of our club's official statements.

Respectfully announced to the public."
