Sheffield Wednesday chairman Milan Mandaric has denied newspaper reports that he is about to sell the club to an Austrian actress.
The Sun published a story on Tuesday claiming that Sybil Danning and her husband Horst Lasse were hoping to reach an agreement with Mandaric to buy the Owls.
But Mandaric issued a statement through the club in which he stated that he had never met or spoken to either Danning or Lasse.
It read: "I have always been honest and transparent and I can say I have never met or spoken to the people named in this article. I was as surprised as everybody else to see the story but I cannot control what is written or said in the media.
"Let me tell you that I am 100% committed to Sheffield Wednesday but if the right person or persons come along who can take this club further forward, I would stand aside.
"But I can completely assure you that until that day comes, my focus is here and my heart is at Hillsborough."
