Ollie Wines’ manager Nick Gieschen has vehemently denied he approached Carlton asking them to consider trading for the Port Adelaide midfielder.
Speaking to foxfooty.com.au, Gieschen refuted a report in the Herald Sun on Monday.
“I can categorically say I never approached Carlton asking their football club to make an approach for Ollie Wines,” he said.
“These reports are completely untrue, Ollie is very happy at Port Adelaide, where he is captain and contracted for another three seasons.
“He certainly did not ask me to investigate the possibility of a trade and nor did I scope one out on his behalf.”
In a statement earlier on Monday, the Power said Wines had not requested a trade out of the club, nor had the club considered it.
“Port Adelaide is aware of recent media speculation relating to Ollie Wines’ future at the club,” it read.
“As a principle, the club is generally reluctant to respond to rumours involving its players throughout the AFL trade period.
“However, in this instance, given Ollie is the current co-captain of the club, Port Adelaide believes it is important to confirm that at no stage has Ollie requested a trade from our club.
“Equally, at no stage has Port Adelaide contemplated trading Ollie to any other club and he remains a required player.”
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
