CARLTON has dismissed reports star forward Brendon Fevola has rejected a new three-year deal.
One television network has reported that Fevola had knocked back a three-year deal and instead is asking for a four-year contract.
But Carlton media manager Ian Coutts said the club hadn't begun contract negotiations with the 27-year-old as he is currently in the process of changing management.
When asked if it was wrong that Fevola had knocked back a three-year deal, Coutts confirmed: "Absolutely."
"Swanny (Blues chief executive Greg Swann who is in charge of contract negotiations) did say in about a month's time it (Fevola's re-signing) will happen," he said.
"The fact is rumours are starting every day on Fev and we have made it very clear what will happen at Carlton is we will sit down with his management when that is finalised - and then we will make an announcement in due course."
"But we are not going to talk about the on-goings of it - like we chatted to him for an hour today or we will have coffee with him tomorrow, we are not going to do that."
