The Wanderers' Pirtek Stadium home has struggled to accommodate the club's fan base and a number of solutions have been proposed.

Those include moving games to the Olympic Park, building a larger stadium in Sydney's west and increasing the capacity of Pirtek Stadium.

Reports emerged again on Wednesday night the Wanderers were in negotiations to move matches, including one Sydney derby match with Sydney FC.

However that was denied by the club.

"The Western Sydney Wanderers have no plans and is not negotiating with ANZ Stadium to move fixtures to the venue," read a Wanderers media statement.

"The Western Sydney Wanderers club and management have long maintained that our home ground is Pirtek Stadium for both A-League and AFC Champions League matches."
