FC Twente's Douglas is happy playing his football in Holland and is not
looking for a move to England, according to his management group.
The 24-year-old Brazil-born defender's name has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs over the summer, in particular Fulham and Newcastle.
However, speaking to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf this morning, Rodrigo da Silveira from MP9 Sports has denied talk of a move to Fulham or anywhere else.
"We are not in London and won't go to London. We are with Douglas in Enschede and are not negotiating with Fulham," he said.
"On Thursday Douglas will play against Bursaspor. Douglas is very happy at FC Twente and wanted to remain there this season."
Douglas joined Twente from Brazilian club Joinville in 2007 and last year received his Dutch passport in a bid to break in to his adopted country's national team.

Transfer from Douglas to Fulham nears completion
21/08/2012 13:04
Fulham has made a concrete move to take Douglas from FC Twente. The London club coached by Martin Jol expects to finalize the transfer soon.
FC Twente and Fulham have agreed a fee in a lump sum payment for the defender. The Brazilian naturalized Dutch citizen will move to Craven Cottage for 5.5 million euro, if the transfer is settled.
Douglas' agent is in London to discuss personal terms with Fulham. Unless Newcastle United acts quickly, then the transfer to Fulham will be rapidly concluded.
Pending a transfer Douglas will play for FCTwente against Bursaspor on Thursday. The match in Turkey is the first leg in the play-offs for the Europa League.
