Manchester City forward Robinho has rejected a transfer to Turkish club Fenerbahce and is holding out for a move to Italy or Spain.
City want to offload him before next Tuesday's transfer deadline and had given permission for talks.
However, the 26-year-old Brazilian told globoesporte.com: "With all due respect to Turkish football, I'm not going to play there at the moment.
The only thing I'll say is that I'll carry on in Europe, in Italy or Spain."
Robinho has not featured for City in the early part of this season since returning from a six-month loan spell at his boyhood club Santos.
