We all know that everyone wants to be one step ahead of the news, but printing unconfirmed articles is a good way to get in trouble with fans...and even those teams involved.
Earlier today, Catalunyan-based newspaper Sport published a story about German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, who was supposedly told by the team's execs he would leave next summer to join Manchester City.
The Spanish publication stated that Borussia Dortmund had sealed a deal with the Sky Blues to watch the German international play under Pep Guardiola, giving Los Blaugranas no chance of signing the player.
When the article was published on Sport's Twitter feed, Borussia Dortmund's Community Manager took the time to set the record straight.
.@sport Really? We should know about that, shouldn't we? Truth is, we don't know anything about that.

Borussia Dortmund will face Bayer Leverkusen this weekend, and Gundogan is expected to deputise in midfield for the yellow-and-black crew.
