Ruben Neves says he "wants to stay" at Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal and will not go on loan to Newcastle United.
The 26-year-old former Wolves captain joined the Riyadh club for £47m in June.
There has been speculation that Newcastle - who are also owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund - want to sign the Portugal international in January.
But when asked if it was possible, Neves told BBC Sport: "I don't go."
"I think that's rumours because of the owner of the clubs of course, and because I've played in England as well," he added.
