Nat Fyfe's management team insist claims that the Fremantle superstar is off to St Kilda next year are completely baseless.
Brad Fitzgerald, co-host of the 'Carmen & Fitzi' program on WA-based radio station 96FM, caused a stir on Monday when he claimed a multi-million dollar deal between the Saints and Fyfe had already been informally agreed to.
He cited an unnamed St Kilda board member as his source.
"The offer is worth $1.5 million a season and it is - as far as legally-wise - it's virtually accepted," Fitzgerald said.
"He can't sign yet but it's basically a done deal and he is going to St Kilda."
Speculation has been rife that Fyfe is keen on continuing his career in Victoria.
The 25-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and eligible for restricted free agency, which means the Dockers have the right to match any potential offers made to their star midfielder.
Fyfe has made it clear that he won't address his contract status until the second half of the season and will deal with Fremantle first before potentially testing the market.
"Stride Sports Management can 100 per cent deny the rumour circulating today that Nat Fyfe has formally or informally agreed to a contract to play with the St Kilda Football Club next year and beyond," a statement said.
"Furthermore, we can confirm that Nat Fyfe remains focused on the start of the season with the Fremantle Football Club and remains committed to the Fremantle Football Club in 2017.
"We would also like to take this opportunity to encourage the football public to check the credibility of their news and the person behind it."
Under AFL rules, clubs can't make offers to free agents until the official free agency period starts in October.
