Brazilian club Sao Paulo have ruled out a move for out-of-favour Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Julio Cesar.
Cesar has not played a competitive match since Brazil's 3-0 victor over Spain in the Confederations Cup final in June, reported Xinhua.
Sao Paulo have reportedly been in the market for a new keeper to replace veteran Rogerio Ceni, who is yet to decide whether he will continue next season.
"We will do our planning as we identify our needs," Sao Paulo vice president Joao Paolo de Jesus Lopes told media.
"But for many reasons it's silliness to say we will sign Julio Cesar. I ask myself if it's a political attempt to unsettle Rogerio Ceni or our board as we have a big affection for Rogerio. There is no chance we bring in Julio Cesar."
