Bursaspor President İbrahim Yazıcı issued a statement on Monday, squashing rumours that his star player is headed to Fenerbahçe. Sercan Yıldırım has been mentioned as a Fener target numerous times this season, with reports over the weekend stating the Canaries were close to a deal for him. Yazıcı says as far as he's concerned, Sercan will remain a Green Croc.

Yazıcı issued a statement on the Bursaspor website Monday stating that there is no deal to send Sercan to Fenerbahçe as had been rumoured. "We've not had any meetings with the heads of any club regarding the transfer of young striker Sercan Yıldırım," the statement read. "The reports of us shaking hands with Fenerbahçe on a deal are completely false," Yazıcı said.

"He is still under contract with our team. If there are any negotiations toward a transfer, the public will be among the first to know," Yazıcı stated.

Yıldırım, who turns 19 on Sunday, joined Bursaspor in 2006. The striker has made numerous appearances for the U-21 Turkish National Team, and he was among Fatih Terim's call-ups for the match against Spain last weekend.
