Real Madrid playmaker Kaka will not be moving to China after Guangzhou Evergrande ruled out trying to sign the Brazilian.
The 30-year-old has endured an injury-plagued tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu since moving from AC Milan in 2009.
However, any potential transfer looks unlikely to develop after the mega-rich Far East outfit already filled their quota of overseas players.
"We currently have seven foreign players for the season coming up and we have no plans to change any of them," club president Liu Yongzhou stated.
The Brazilian is thought to be desperate to leave the Spanish capital, and would jump at the chance of rejoining Milan.
Kaka has also been linked to being part of a potential deal to sign Luka Modric from Tottenham Hotspur.
