Football Federation Australia and the Wellington Phoenix are tight-lipped after a report that Terry Serepisos "is poised to retain control" of the A-League club.
Both the FFA and the Phoenix said the Sydney Morning Herald report, which claimed Mr Serepisos had been able to refinance through Asian lenders, was "speculation".
The Phoenix owner has debts of $203 million and his creditors are due to meet tomorrow to consider a proposal that would see an "orderly" sale of his property.
The FFA and Mr Serepisos are in talks over the ownership of the Phoenix.
