The Titan Sport agency, representing the interests of Salavat Yulaev forward Joshua Livo, issued a statement in connection with the increased speculation in the media and online resources regarding the player's possible transfer to another hockey club:
"Currently, Joshua Livo is a player of the Salavat Yulaev hockey club and has a valid contract with it, the terms of which are strictly observed by both parties. Any information disseminated on the Internet and other sources that contradicts this fact is unreliable and does not correspond to reality.
We emphasize that neither the agency nor the hockey player Joshua Livo himself initiated contacts with other hockey clubs and did not conduct any negotiations regarding possible employment in the future.
In order to ensure a favorable environment for the preparation of the Salavat Yulaev team for the upcoming season, as well as to protect the professional reputation of the athlete, we strongly urge you to refrain from disseminating unverified and deliberately false information."
