Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila has reportedly turned down a move to Queens Park Rangers in favour of a switch to Russian side Rubin Kazan.
Hoops boss Harry Redknapp has made no secret of his desire to recruit the Frenchman, having already secured the signing of compatriot Loic Remy.
However, M'Vila looks likely to reject a transfer to England and join up with Rubin Kazan instead, according to French newspaper L'Equipe.
The source claims that the 22-year-old will sign a four-year deal with Rubin, worth in excess of £3m per season.
Previous reports had claimed that QPR were likely to be successful with a bid of around £8m for the player, although the Russians have supposedly offered £9m more than the Premier League outfit.
M'Vila has 22 caps for France.
