However, Fenerbahce's head of communications, Alper Yemeniciler, has stated that the reports are completely false. He said that Mourinho had not made any statements about Duran's absence and that the player had actually arrived at the team's training camp in Portugal on the evening before last Wednesday.

The reports that sparked the controversy were attributed to Mourinho, who was quoted as saying that Duran's absence was "disrespectful" and that there would be consequences for his actions. However, these quotes have been disputed by Fenerbahce, who insist that they are entirely false.

Duran, a 21-year-old Colombian player, had a successful spell at Aston Villa last season, scoring 12 goals despite making most of his appearances off the bench. However, he has struggled to find his form since leaving the club. The recent rumors and false reports may not be what he needs to get his career back on track as the new season begins.
