NAT Fyfe’s management has categorically dismissed a report suggesting he would sign with St Kilda for $1.5 million per season.

Fyfe’s management, Stride Sports, told foxfooty.com.au on Monday that a radio claim about the Fremantle captain signing with St Kilda was “100 per cent” false.

“Stride Sports Management can 100 per cent deny the rumours today that Nat Fyfe has formally, or informally, agreed to a contract to play with St Kilda Football Club next year and beyond,” Fyfe’s manager Jason Dover said.

“Furthermore, we can confirm that Nat Fyfe remains focused on the start of the AFL season and 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.”

As previously reported, it is understood that Fyfe has decided he will talk to Fremantle first before entertaining any offers from rival clubs.

Ideally, Fyfe’s intention was to wait until the second half of the year before beginning talks with the Dockers about a new deal.

As yet, the 2015 Brownlow Medal winner has not had those discussions with the Dockers.

Fyfe has been on record earlier this year saying that he saw his future at Fremantle.

A number of clubs in Melbourne are interested in Fyfe, but he has chosen not to field formal offers at this stage.

Fyfe is this year’s most sought-after free agent, with the future of the talented midfielder likely to be speculated on throughout the entirety of the campaign.

Radio host Brad Fitzgerald, part of the ‘Carmen and Fitzi’ program on 96FM in Perth, said he had been told news of Fyfe’s move by a “high-ranking board member” at the Saints.

“The offer is worth $1.5 million a season and it is — as far as legally wise — virtually accepted,” Fitzgerald said.

“He can’t sign yet but it’s basically a done deal and he is going to St Kilda.

“I can’t name names but this has come from a high-ranking board member of St Kilda.”

Fyfe is averaging 26.8 disposals per game this season, having missed the majority of the side’s 2016 campaign with a broken leg.

He is out of contract and a restricted free agent at the end of the year, which means Fremantle could match any offer to Fyfe, who would then have to seek a trade to the club of his choice if he decided to leave.
