Recently, some media released news that Fenerbahce coach Mourinho was dissatisfied with Colombian striker Duran not arriving in Portugal on time to participate in the team's pre-season training camp. In response, Fenerbahce press officer Alper Yemeniciler posted a message to refute the rumor.

Alper Yemeniciler wrote: "It is completely false about our head coach Mourinho's interview with foreign media and talking about player Joan Duran's remarks. Our coach has never made such remarks, and our players have arrived in Portugal in the afternoon to meet the team."

It is understood that Duran has received permission from the club and can postpone the registration in Portugal until Wednesday afternoon local time, and then officially participate in the preseason training class of Fenerbahce on Thursday. This summer, Fenerbahce won the loan from Riyadh with a one-year lease, and Fenerbahce bears the high salary of the players.
