"That's a complete invention," Wenger said on Thursday at a news conference ahead of Saturday's visit to West Brom.
Pressed
on whether it was "fake news," Wenger replied: "Fake news. It's good
today -- you say anything and everybody takes it without checking any
information. Everybody just takes it and makes a subject. It's not
serious."
The
62-year-old Primorac, a former centre-back who was a Yugoslavia
international during his playing career, first started working under
Wenger during his stint in Japan at Nagoya Grampus in 1994 and has been a
key part of his backroom staff ever since.
A club spokesperson had earlier told Sky that talk Primorac would leave was "wild speculation."
Wenger
also dismissed reports in Spain that Barcelona have renewed their
interest in right-back Hector Bellerin, who signed a new six-year deal
with the Gunners this season.
Wenger said he was not aware of any approach from Barcelona for the Spaniard.
"No. He just extended his contract.
It's an unbelievable amount of years to go," Wenger said. "I believe
again it's very difficult to take these things seriously."
