Şekip Mosturoğlu : "Lugano Will Not Go To Italy"

Yellow Canaries Vice-President Şekip Mosturoğlu spoke to the press this week and commented about Uruguayan defender Diego Lugano's pending contract renewal talks. Mosturoğlu reassured Fenerbahçe fans saying that there was a strong probability that Diego Lugano will soon extend his contract and stay at the Şükrü Saraçoğlu.

Fenerbahçe Vice-President spoke to Radyospor's Aydın Cingöz this week and answered questions about Uruguayan defender Diego Lugano's pending contract renewal talks.

"We're waiting for Lugano's agent to come to Turkey, so we can clarify his situation," said Şekip Mosturoğlu. "I believe that in the end both sides will show the necessary sacrifice and we will soon reach a happy ending," he continued.

When asked about transfer rumours linking the defender to Italian clubs Mr. Mosturoğlu gave a clear response. "I have never thought and still don't think that a development of this kind could happen during our negotiations," answered Mosturoğlu. "I can say to you that Lugano will not go to Italy," commented the Vice-President.

Diego Lugano, Volkan Demirel and Selçuk Şahin have all yet to extend their contracts with the club. If Fenerbahçe doesn't get these players to sign new contracts, they will become free agents at the end of the season.
